Mr Paul Fletcher,
The ketamine and the dopamine controlling along with brain mapping that you spoke on earlier in this lecture. Is extremely useful in my life.
Its weird because when youre not dealing with mental health issues you think it only happens to others and you cant really grasp what they are because you didnt experience them.
After like 2 decades of doing speed ...I was at a point where i thought i was decyphering things in music videos and had compulsions and delusions etc..
I was in toxic psychosis.
At first I thought that it was impossible that it was because of the drugs since i had been doing them for years and was fine..
But during those 20 years i went more and more into isolation and slowly increased the amount i was doing over time..
I would always spend 3 days awake then crash then stay a few days sober then start over.
And i consider myself lucky to have had the chance to ''start over'' by getting sober and having anti psychotic for 2-3 years..
I was even able to slowly lower the amount of anti-psychotic little by little to a point where i didnt need them anymore..
Now ive been sober for almost 5yrs.
im also lucky that i can see that i was sick and that the delusions were delusions.
2 years after getting sober ..
A friend of mine started hearing voices and feeling like his neighbors were following him and insulting him etc..
I witnessed many times that what he was experiencing wasnt there..
But even when he was medicated and his symptoms were gone..
He was still sure that the hallucinations and delusions were real..
I thought this was called encapsulated delirium or something but i cant find the actual name.
Anyways ..now i watch these types of videos with a different perspective.
I can understand them better since i experienced some of them.
This shit is dope, gettin my lern on bro!
thank you for uploading, i learned a lot
Hmmm.... Maybe brain creates bizarre delusions either that it throws in "random crap" to fill in the blanks or it compensates its own inability to predict and wants to protect the "ego" so it has to project outside. I've been suspecting many things come out as compensation. Lack of control = panic compensation -_- I'm not an expert in this field and maybe they have tested this already. I'm just saying from a point of view of a neurotic woman with anxiety : ]
I think merely faulty inferences/perception mechanisms are not enough, there has to be a steadily elevated level of excitement, arousal, for faulty learning to take hold. Hence "everything seems brighter," etc.
I think it's a failure of sensory gating too, leading to sensory overwhelm.
this is why I don't joke about mental illnesses.
Mental suffering is caused by too much of what you don't need & not enough of what you do.
24:16 - 25:18 could this be a common experience of teens in their 20s? I got them as well but was not aware of it anymore after several years, perhaps 1 or 2 year after the first onset of the experience.
Thanks for this lecture and uploading it :)

Nice
Yes, a world with only reward and no pain no punishment.
My mans…you don’t mean that that’s wild
Talk about word bombs. I prefer Gravity’s Rainbow Bayesian probabilities. V-2’s (no, not NSA V2k or Russian troll mind control) breaking the sound barrier during WWII. Brits plotting the next V-2 hit depending on where a certain US Lieutenant was having sex. Or so he thought. Written to be unreadable. Now in a time of COVID I’m trying “Against The Day.” Amazing stuff. I just can’t focus with V-2 voice word bombs in-coming from outside my head. They used to be from outside my apartment. “They’re” getting closer. Am I out of my mind? What would Dr Vaughn from Mind Hacks say? Is he still around?
Delusions are formed when your life is seriously lonely & or filled with abusive language from your everyday contacts. It is a way to escape very unpleasant mind & feeling states.
Couldn't agree more
That’s true for some people but for me or my family. A few of us have no trauma but still developed schizophrenia, delusions are a regular occurrence.
We were just unfortunate that schizophrenia is in our DNA
If you concentrate and mediate you can go out with your willed ones friends-you can make love with your lovers- you can have minds trips and so on. It is just matter to not be lonely in your head.
Not a single gene has been linked to schizophrenia. There are group of genes and there is anxiety that goes off the spectrum.
Joe Rogan brought me here.
Same hahaha lets go
Which episode? 😄
In a thousand years they'll be talking about Rogan and the rise of podcasting the same way we talk about the Greek philosophers and the enlightenment.
Joe Rogan is a NARCISSIST and JELOUS OF JOHNNY DEPP.
I wish I could say the same because I've watched dozens of joe rogan episodes.
I'm sorry but I had to skip the lecture because of the heavy bass on the video and the heavy British accent (event if you think it's I who have the accent!).The combination of the two made it impossible to comprehend.
ENGLISH ACCENT. NOT BRITISH.
