Why do people who spend a lot of time dissolving their egos with psychedelic drugs seem to have intensified egos? What is the scientific explanation for this paradox?

Because after it wears off your ego is back to normal, also I assume that they don't have heightened egos you've just heard annoying drug takers talk about drugs

yeah when you're tripping balls or spend 50 years meditating, assuming all those gurus and monks aren't hacks

I think ego death is when you let go of anger, which you can do before you die

If you spent 50 years meditating without results you'd also murder your ego for it.

Ego death is the most egotistical concept their is. The ego only being beatable by complete and total annihilation is an idea that feeds the go.

Ego death is the colloquial term for a psychosis in which you are dead and acting out a narrative explaining your inexplicable death following the consumption of a large dose of hallucinogens
It’s ego death bc obviously the person isn’t dead, but do U know what it feels like to experience ego death?
Your blood turns to cold stone and there’s an oscillation between extreme rage and a feeling of unity with the universe
Not exactly worth but worth

because they don't dissolve their egos. In fact their ego is fed by a sense of superiority in having taken psychedelics. It's like vegans: they think they are better because they did something that holds little meaning in their hands.

why do people here hate psychedelic drugs so much?
is it just reactionary contrarianism, or is there a good reason?

Probably people who have never tried psychedelics and have only a superficial understanding of what the drugs actually do. Maybe they've met some hippie fags who gave them a bad impression of the "psychedelic culture" (this is understandable, though the majority of people who use psychedelics regularly are not hippies or wooks or whatever). Some people a probably just bitter that they don't have any friends who could supply them with psychs and don't know any other methods to acquire them. Then there's a minority of people who have tried psychedelics, had a bad experience, and are trying to discourage other people from having the same experience as them. Lots of reasons to be opposed to psychedelics, but I thoroughly believe that everyone of sound mind should at least try a low dose of mescaline, mushrooms, acid or DMT before ruling them out as useless

Some people like to imagine themselves as Rational People and some of them mistakenly believe this means that the entirety of their lives should be based on sober logical principles right down to what state of mind they should be in.

They're just people.
Ego death lasts a short time and ends way before you come off the drug/stop the meditation session.

But even so - its the people like you that i despise, you sit on the sidelines not participating in either and just point fingers while dog whistling about your pure and TOTALLY HAPPY lifestyle when you spend your free time on an anonymous mongolian basket weaving forum criticising drug users on the internet.

The dissolution of ego is worth to be experienced at least once in your lifetime.
Even if it fades away as fast as a dream.

It's humbling, then you tend to forget the lesson, in part it is to cope with the realization. Getting there through drugs means getting there "forcefully" and often unprepared.
It's not a magic medicine that enlightens you regardless.

What the fuck is this post. I've taken LSD before but you clearly have taken doses 10x higher than mine

It's just a temporary disruption/suppression of the sense of self. It's not that weird. Psychedelics can disrupt a lot of neural circuits, and that's just one of them.

Yes it was a big one
An eyedropper from the dealer, there wasn't enough liquid left for a drop so in my infinite wisdom I sucked some water up in the bottle swished it around and dumped 1/3 of the total volume of the dropper into my mouth
I've seen this happen to one other person since, do not do this kids, the lsd absorbs into the plastic
I tried running through fences, whole 9 yards
