The theory does not explain anything. Its waffle words, descriptive fluff, that might as well be a meaningless stream of sound.

Is that so?

Well; you appear to be in possession of a significant intellectual ability, are literally a mod of "s/retards" so, no doubt you would know!

Ok, tell me how this advances understanding of consciousness, either as experienced, or in terms of identifying the cause.

EM is everywhere, so if this theory had any substance, it would provide us with testable predictions. A theory that cannot be tested is... pseudoscience. By definition.

You're not wrong! However, something strange is happening. I agree with your sentiment and am confused by some experiences I have had. Hence my interest in the "ufo" subject. I don't think science has completely explained everything. I would assume, being curious and intelligent, you would have some awareness of that to which I refer. Seeing as how at this point the subject cannot be even casually conversed about, only denial and exclamations of impossibility, there as in exceedingly difficult time learning anything new.

I want to know more about this place I go to when I ingest this substance. Many other people have had the exact same experiences, seen the same entity and been given similar information. If science was infallible as you claim surely there would be studies and research on this phenomenon. However, I am told it's "just my brain on drugs". Which is not an acceptable explanation. I wish you the absolute best, have a great holiday.

If science was infallible as you claim

you what? I've never claimed that, nor would I ever claim that. Science, at best, is a conversation with nature. It is, inherently, fallible, as the language by which we converse is constantly evolving.

However, I am told it's "just my brain on drugs"

Every experience is real. Accept that and enjoy.

I'm so tired of you spirit crushers mocking my passions and putting my interests down as pseudoscience. I can imagine modding and participating in s/retards takes up a lot of brain energy and mind power so there isn't much leftover. So you need to go to other subs and put their ideas down to make your ignorant self feel better. Then this is what you got for me?

Every experience is real. Accept that and enjoy.

I had a bunch of mean stuff put together and I sat down feeling straight hateful but it's my journeys goal to dispense with such irrelevance. I will leave you with one thing and it is that you have missed something critical; in curiosity or wisdom, either that or you really are just another "retard".

Three replies? Touched a nerve have I. No, seriously, look at this from another angle, I don't know, you come in MY sub and leave an asinine comment and you want the red carpet rolled out? You, sir, are the cunt here, and you know it. I wish you the best anyway however, because I can tell you are only good at regurgitating others' research, you have no novel thought of your own. Be well!

you are not very good at reading comprehension.

Did I mock? No. I said that the article about consciousness was rubbish, but then i've spent a lot of my life studying the nature of consciousness. Penrose has some great ideas that have been experimentally verified If you wanted to discuss the science, then you've made a very bad start, acting like a total fuckwit.

you complained that your DMT experiences were being dismissed as 'just drugs'.

I then said the OPPOSITE, and you have a problem with that too.

Really, you are just a bit of a whining cunt. You've basically alienated yourself from any kind of interesting discussion with a person who has spent a lot of time exploring the very subject you are interested in.

I don't think you are smart enough to really appreciate any kind of psychedelic experience mate, you've got far too many unresolved ego issues to work through first

Aha, the true colors come out, take care of yourself pal.
