another ganesh one

bagpuss scared me! very eerie (and powerful). i preferred ivor and noggin the nog because they centred on firmin's illustration. at least we can agree on firmin :D

got in contact with him last year - bought a signed print - thanked him for his inspiration (for ivor the engine) - he had a credit on vitamin c https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/peter-firmin-obituary-77kp9pw65?shareToken=e49a08ad3fc1bd66d3dadb690c623a17 http://www.vitamincfilm.com

what a mad old thread! :crylarf:

love you brother :love:

on reflection this is too strong - if not entirely wrong - then certainly partially wrong i do think there is a TOO MUCH trendy enthusiasm about psychedelics at the moment. the pollan book is a case in point. i have a copy but not waded through it yet. but written by a privileged, rich...

:-) very sweet of you to say. your point stands they're not for everyone. certainly not for those without a healthy ego foundation (though paradoxically it's those without a healthy ego who seem to gravitate to them - what used to be called the "hippy modality") i don't believe i was "damaged"...

apparently the water-supply thing is impossible. there was a bunch of FBI/CIA research on it. not saying I conclusively understand this from personal scientific research obv.

i suppose if one's really after a silver bullet for one's brain - then, in the absence of an actual revolver and some silver bullets, LSD would do the trick!

that's what i'm trying to suggest. it's one of the underacknowledged aspects of psychoanalysis. some of the most convincing discourses around psychedelics frame them as (essentially) vastly accelerated psychoanalysis. the key is probably is putting dreams into the mix and accounting for them...

as i understand it at least, depth psychoanalysis will get you there. people say it can be expensive (though there are subsidised ways of doing it) and it would also require quite a lot of painful and tiring work... BUT the advantage is that it will (like psychedelics) frequently have a...

lennon and mccartney (as mentioned upthread) must be the quintessential archetypal musical dyad. george martin used to say they were (as in the constituents of a good dressing) equivalent of lemon juice and olive oil no prizes for guessing who was the acidic and who the mellifluous...

i think in fairness to her - she was actually raped herself. AND i think her comments come from a place of not wishing to be psychologically defeated by men. ALSO the context of her argument is the fact that so many rape prosecutions never result in a conviction - her argument being let's make...
