Imagination in much love. love can do anything to help and improve our planet. Biology and chemistry left a gap in society thats when in equalists can help. 💜
Alexander "Sasha" Shulgin (June 17, 1925 – June 2, 2014) was an American chemist, biochemist, pharmacologist, and psychopharmacologist renowned for his pioneering work with psychoactive compounds. He is best known for introducing MDMA (commonly called ecstasy) to psychologists in the late 1970s for its potential in psychotherapy and for synthesizing and testing over 230 psychoactive substances, many of which he explored personally.
Born in Berkeley, California, Shulgin showed early intellectual promise, entering Harvard University at 16 on a scholarship to study organic chemistry. He left during his second year to join the U.S. Navy during World War II. After the war, he completed a Ph.D. in biochemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1954. His career began with stints at Bio-Rad Laboratories and Dow Chemical, where he developed Zectran, the first biodegradable pesticide, earning him significant freedom to pursue his interests.
Shulgin’s fascination with psychedelics ignited in 1960 after experiencing mescaline, prompting him to leave Dow in 1966 and establish a home laboratory in Lafayette, California. There, he synthesized novel compounds, including the 2C family (like 2C-B) and DOx series (like DOM), testing them on himself, his wife Ann, and a small group of friends. He documented these experiences meticulously, often using his Shulgin Rating Scale to measure their effects, ranging from subtle shifts to profound, life-altering experiences.
In 1976, a student introduced him to MDMA, originally synthesized by Merck in 1912 but largely ignored. Shulgin refined its synthesis and shared it with psychologist Leo Zeff, who used it therapeutically, sparking its spread among therapists before it became a recreational drug. This unintended popularity earned him the nickname "godfather of ecstasy," though he lamented its shift from medical to party use.
With his wife Ann, whom he married in 1981, Shulgin co-authored *PiHKAL* (1991) and *TiHKAL* (1997), blending autobiography with detailed chemical recipes and subjective reports on phenethylamines and tryptamines, respectively. These books, while influential in psychedelic circles, drew scrutiny from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Despite a prior cooperative relationship—advising the DEA and holding a Schedule I research license—the agency raided his lab in 1994, fined him, and revoked his license after *PiHKAL*’s publication.
Shulgin’s work bridged science and counterculture, influencing both therapeutic research and underground exploration. He died of liver cancer in 2014 at 88, leaving a legacy of curiosity-driven discovery and a complex relationship with authority, celebrated by psychonauts and researchers alike.
Btw if some one was going to build something huge about the people that were involved and me being debatable then I want a giant bio dome that uses 8 blocks in the biodome that takes a 12 blocks space that used to be corrupted & shut down of greenery as a park for other planets.
The X Safety team conducted an investigation into suspected Chinese inauthentic accounts involved in influence operations:
We identified a bot farm of approximately 200,000 accounts. Within this farm, we found 200 accounts posting in a manner that could manipulate a legitimate debate about American AI and energy policy.
These posts contained claims that AI data centers are driving up household electricity prices and straining the grid. Others included AI-generated cartoons that depicted data-center operators enriching themselves at the public's expense.
We remain committed to maintaining an open and authentic platform where people debate topics of public interest. We take seriously any attempts to undermine the integrity of the global town square and suspend accounts that violate our Authenticity policy.
I was never a drug addict I’m a substance connoisseur.
I just have a rough time most of the time.
If people try to use my experience for profit without positive general relationships…
Then I leave a bomb there and sit around with a broom waiting.
So how’s it going to get different types of gamers to be brought together in groups so people with similar personalities so that work together to create new companies for society?
You just have to bring multiple boys like I said together and have a party with a few of your gfs.
@oxDessyxo From @survivetheark? Damn that would explain how you know who am. Ark is way harder in game vs rl government.
I was supplying and producing narco berries 😂 I was going to call my tribe the
Narco Co. If i wasn’t with an amazing one at the time. They just needed vending machines.
Oh and obviously it would only be live while online and needs 3 people that hold the artifacts, maybe getting a 3rd of the obelisk. Mostly just so that if people have a nearly complicated task to donate and receive a keys for co-servers.
Hey @survivetheark you should probably make a real where someone can donate resources or creatures (in game) into the public servers in the obliques then the user can summon a 10 people server that still is the admin but they now get a co-admin badge in sub-server that’s private.
That was the only way that people can only bring limited objects or tames to the main public servers or a few close story servers from the like in Ragnarok and it can only move to other Ragnaroks and Scorch and Aberration that way they don’t get over crowded in a multiverse.
@Natism Im just gonna sign my name on it and be hangin’ out on the roof. I like when people are thinking about “I wonder what else is up there?”
Just in weird places hoping to see weird people.
