      Wrong. They already have to much control on us. Paper money isnt backed by the gold exchange anymore. So it has imaginary value.
      They already have pushed us to cards. There will take us to the next level.
      Bitcoin has increased since it was added for years.
      And now we are beginning to see bitcoin machines pop up at places more and more.

      The crazy things about the visuals is that sometimes I feel like I'm not exactly hallucinating but more like seeing things with more clarity. The introspection was also amazing and I believe it helped me getting my shit together a little by giving me a little strength necessary to start acting differently and acting a little less on anger when I feel hurt. Also I feel like I'm making some decently quick progress when meditating.

    Mushrooms told me a story that they were once like us, humanoid. They advanced their technology to a point to where they could coil the entire evolution of their species into an organic container we call a "spore". They did this by decoding their own DNA. Now their technology, being as advanced as it was, couldn't save their planet from the inevitable dying of their sun.
    So this species decided to seed the Universe with the spores of their race. Spores which are capable of surviving the harshness of space, land on barren planets (or not barren) evolve to the environment (or evolve the environment around them) and begin the long evolutionary process of becoming conscious humanoid entities again.

    Mushrooms evolving into a separate species that eats its predecessor and experiences deeper connection to cosmic wisdom. Seemingly divided entities considering themselves as separate until consumption inspires sensual communion. The mycelium network is happening at the level of species. A microcosm of the universe at large. A wonderful example that everything is connected.

    @shahinrab 6 лет назад +289

    As much as I like how Paul tries to think out of the box, there are a lot of misconceptions or wrong statements going on here. I just name two:
    1. Finding an optimum distribution tree is not "intelligence", it is just an optimizer mechanism. Intelligence is a deduction based on knowledge and the ability to develop skills. Almost anything that happens around you is an optimizer, e.g. trajectory of a falling ball that is optimum in the sense of a minimum energy path in the space-time curvature. In the video, it shows several examples of how an exploring fungus discovers the best routing system for different maps. This is the exact same mechanism that generates lightning patterns. It is called RRT in computer science, or Rapidly-exploring Random Trees. Google it if you want to know how it works. And if anyone is interested there is a whole class of Minimum Spanning Trees that just do what we see the fungus do in this video: maximizing the distribution of a source through a tree with minimum total length. Examples are veins in our body, nutrition pathways in a fly's wing, or even how rivers join to make their way to the sea (the same class with opposite optimality condition). Nothing intelligent about these phenomena (although very beautiful), just consequences of the laws of physics with no higher order complex thinking system. Using the term intelligent confuses people into thinking what we mean by that is the same intelligent process we experience in our the brain. This is wrong and sloppy science!
    2. There is a fundamental difference in the decentralized intelligence, and the centralized one. We, as humans, have both: our brains (central) + our social communication system (decentral). Many colonies of animals and insects demonstrate decentralized intelligence without having much advanced neural systems, like a flock of birds acting as a whole, or ant colonies capable of building really complicated underground constructs. What is wrong with Paul's assumption on making allies with fungi lies in the fact that a centralized intelligence cannot communicate with a decentralized one in a way that is meaningful to both parties. We can "exploit" them, but not make friends, or allies, or whatever he means by us and them in the same framework. Proper communication is key to extending intelligence. Without it what Paul says is just Pop-Sci.
    -------------------- UPDATE after the 70th comment --------------------------
    I did not expect 10s of long comments! Most of them made really good points. I know most likely you are not going to read them all, so let me summarize a lot of them:
    The slime video solving maze is the source of most confusion. Both because it seems to be aware of the solution "magically" as well as people thinking this is a "unique" behavior.
    There is no magic nor a unique maze solving power that suggests intelligence. I will explain why and how both are wrong.
    --Magic--
    If you slow-mo at @4:37 you can actually see the slime is exploring ALL corridors before converging to a stable shortest path solution (they just disappear very quickly). The exploration part is exactly why we have the "exploring" term in Rapidly-exploring Random Trees (RRT) that I mentioned originally.
    After watching the slime growth in slow-mo then watch this simulation to see how RRT algorithm actually works.
    ruclips.net/video/Mezx29eBbNk/видео.html
    Note that in the slime footage there are two pieces of slime at the start and at the end of the maze, just like this simulation.
    More examples
    ruclips.net/video/pOFtvZ_qVsA/видео.html
    --Uniqueness--
    Take a look at how ink + soap + milk can solve the maze problem the same way that fungi do it (I am sharing it from my personal drive, let me know if it does not work)
    drive.google.com/open?id=1C0p97SrAP8tO1BSA8CdihoVe6sil3-1t
    The original paper with details on its dynamics
    www.news.ucsb.edu/2018/018634/soap-opera
    --Intelligence--
    So do we need to think that anything that can solve a maze problem is intelligent? I would say it depends on the definition of intelligence. If by intelligence we mean a more narrowed term associated with human cognitive abilities (that is what people associate the term with by default), then no; It is an anthropological mistake. If we mean a broader spectrum of intelligence that spans anything from electrons to humans, I would say yes we can. But again Paul does not clarify this definition. So using the term intelligence is very much misleading.

    Paul-- I majored in Psychology and Religion with a minor in Anthropology and Shamanism was the result of the merging of the 3. I became interested in the use of shaman sweat lodge ceremonies in the treatment of PTSD for Vietnam Veterans. This was cutting edge in the late 90s. Though some progress was made with herbs, heat and darkness, real progress was made with psilocybin in small doses. This was shunned because of them being schedule 1 narcotics, and many people continued to suffer needlessly. The concept of psychedelics aiding in human evolution is logical. As monkeys crawled out of the trees and became hunter-gatherers, following the massive herd of food would have also meant they experimented with eating plants along the way. Mushrooms would have no doubt been in abundance. And it did not take long to realize that smaller amounts of a certain one increased visual acuity and focus, and aided in a hunt. It also resulted in more liberating celebrations after the successful hunt, resulting in what was to become a ritual, structuring the first early cultures. Another result of inhibition would have been a population explosion, rapid generational procreation, quickening physical adaptation to not only physical demands, but reflecting an increased perception by increasing cognitive capacity. THe result was early humans experienced a drastic increase in cranial volume - nearly doubling the size of the brain, in just 300,000 years if I recall. Terrance McKenna advocated this view in the 70s and maintains that the pyschodelic experience is part of continuing human evolution . And that has been my experience as well. Keep up the good work!

They have pineal calcification. Meaning they wouldn’t be able to continue that high level of thinking. The jump is too big to ever reach each other. I think people underestimate how big of a jump that is and pretty much impossible. They aren’t enlighten creatures, not to the point of keeping up with the mental capacity. It doesn’t work like that, all they could do is remember the experience. You’re grown and think that we came directly from monkey evolution? It’s not even a possibility 😂

    Not to bash on the non drug use talk of this. But while under the influence of mushrooms I noticed a lot of things change within my brain. Some good some bad but I could see how that relates to the hypothesis.
    One who eats the mushrooms and has bad experiences would be less likely to be the clans leader. Where as the positively affected individuals would look to better the group or at least be using the mushrooms influence to better themselves and observe the surroundings in a different light.
    Mushrooms are fun and educational when used properly

    LOVE and LIGHT - I remember in the 80s when my friends and I would have huge trip parties in "high school," eating magic mushrooms was my favorite. When one explores this safely with experienced shamans and/or spiritual healers that know how to handle the good, bad, and the “heroic dose,” it can be one of the most enlightening and healing experiences. There’s a reason why ancient native tribes around the globe believe in hallucinogenic spiritual experiences, especially during the beginning and end of each of the four seasons (solstices).

    • @mattzx003
      @mattzx003 5 лет назад +83

      Plants and fungi evolved neurotoxic compounds to kill herbivores to stop them from eating them. Evolutionary pathways required to produce these compounds can take a long time to form, and as they are forming, herbivores are forming counter-defense mechanisms to neutralize the toxic anti-herbivory substances. The result is that among the thousands of evolutionary lineages of plants and fungi, there are vast array of compounds produced, each of which is tailored evolutionary to defend against whichever predators negatively influence the survival of each species of plant/fungi the most.
      Take psilocybin in mushrooms for example. The main predator of these varieties of mushrooms are flies. In flies, psilocybin inhibits a neurotransmitter responsible for making the fly feel hungry. So, the compound stops the predator before it can kill the fungi. Countless neurotransmitters in all species of animals are regulated by the same handful of compounds, so it is not surprising that when psilocybin mimics the structure of 1 specific neurotransmitter inhibitor in flies, this structure also inhibits any neurotransmitter in any species that is regulated by the same type of neurotransmitter inhibitor.
      Within the brain, normal consciousness is achieved through coordinated and highly-regulated patterns of neuronal impulses. Psilocybin inhibits a number of neurotransmitters that regulate neuronal impulses; the result being that parts of the brain fire in a different pattern than normal. This causes the change in perception of consciousness.
      *TL;DR: Neurotransmitters cause all of the changes in our brains. 1 neurotransmitter in flies makes them feel hungry. Psilocybin blocks this neurotransmitter to make them stop eating the mushroom. BUT psilocybin also blocks neurotransmitters that make the neurons in human brains fire in regular patterns. Consciousness is dictated by these patterns of brain activity, and this change in patterns of brain activity is what causes the change in perception of consciousness.*

    • @BrokedDownPalace
      @BrokedDownPalace 5 лет назад +24

      We all have a common ancestor. Psilocybin works because it is structurally similar to serotonin and can fit into serotonin receptors. The neurotransmitters are ancient. Likely they split into different trees millions of years ago, but the shape of the molecule is still close enough to fit into receptor sites

    I’ve took shrooms one day and had somewhat of a trip but nothing like super crazy where people get to experience their ego death, but like something similar, like my mind just opened up to reality or sum shit. It’s hard to put it in words but I started thinking about bad & good energy that people bring and how some people in the world serve a huge purpose in life than others and I started to feel like I was brought into this life to serve a purpose wether it’s bad or good. but then I started thinking about the bad and I thought hmm who could be the people in this world that bring the bad energy around us? So I get to thinking about the people who are in power in this world like the government, then asked my self, why are we even letting these cruel people rule and control us when all they do is bring evil upon us, for example war and things like that. But the reason they are still in power is because we don’t have time to realize it, then it kinda made sense that they use some of that bad to distract us from what is really going on around us wether it’s things like money bc if you think about it, we are always working our ass off to try to make money which keeps us distracted from the real world and money doesn’t always bring you happiness, it’s one of the main reason a lot of people go through things like depression which can represent some of the bad. Does anyone else think about shit like this?? If so let’s talk about bc it’ll help me open up my mind

    Robert Graves, author of some of the most popular compendiums of Greek mythology says in his prologue that he believes that all those wonderful gods and demigods were the result of the images and stories produced by the consumption of a hallucinogenic mushroom called “amanita muscaria” which produces prophetic visions, erotic energy, muscular strength and debauchery. In his view, ancient Greeks consumed the amanita and through their trips received the information used to create their rich and influential mythology.
