@algekalipso I've taken 4-HO-MET several times. It makes everything hilarious. I experienced ego death on it once with a high dosage. 4-HO-MiPT is another psychedelic I highly recommend.
@akarlin@Dljokl Do you know about the philosophy of Open Individualism? Open Individualists basically deny the existence of the self and think that "you" are actually everyone. Buddhists believe in something similar to this.

@webmasterdave@classicaldoom Convincing the majority of the world's reproducing population to genetically engineer their children seems like a rather big obstacle to me.
@webmasterdave@BoringBiz_@Abhijit_A_ Are you familiar with Edward Dutton, and if so what is your opinion of him? He strongly believes intelligence is genetically declining, and has done research on this.
I wonder how much current selection pressures are affecting hedonic set points. People with low genetic happiness seem more likely to have antinatalist leanings, which implies genetic happiness of future generations will be higher, despite genetic intelligence falling.
I don't know why there isn't more research into nociceptor destruction technology. Surgically destroying a targeted group of nociceptors would render the targeted area in the body pain-free for life.
@JFGariepy I don't understand why more of these types of people don't get cryopreserved instead of turning to religion. Cryonics objectively gives you far higher chances of getting to some sort of heaven than religion does.
