We have pretty strong indications of when and why things go wrong. Openness vs rigid thinking are an axis that are very strong correlative factors. A lot more nuance but there is a lot we do know about risk factors so it isn’t a complete question mark.
- RangerScience 4d agoAnecdotally / personally experienced; bad trips happen “when you get stuck”. The #1 thing to do in such a situation is to change the music. The #2 thing to do is, quite literally, go to the bathroom and take a shit. It’s extremely analogous to anything that would make a normal day into a bad day.
- bitexploder 4d agoThat makes sense. I think I have approached becoming stuck. I reached a kind of extreme disassociated state once where I felt like I didn't exist and part of my brain started to panic. I meditate a lot. I reminded the part of me that was becoming anxious that we are okay because we are somehow still observing ourselves so we must still exist. That was apparently adequate to calm it lol. It is truly weird to negotiate with some part of your brain and see it work in real time. I think it was a particularly sticky day for my DMN and or some particular loop it was hanging on to? It is always hard to say.
