      According to the dude, people with no foreknowledge also saw the same things. “Seeing the code of the matrix” definitely sounds better than “DMT enhances random patterns”.

        This is true. Laser Doppler Vibrometry and Atomic Force Microscopy are two legitimate examples of using lasers near your eyes while sober.

          Im working my way up intensity to build an immunity. I’m all the way to class IV indirect. Hoping to achieve direct by the next eclipse so I don’t need my Raybans.

      laser light has this way of enhancing interference patterns as it spreads out, this is why it has weird looking patterns when projected in a wide angle.

      This is also probably what the person in this post was seeing and tripping on, staring directly into a laser pointer while high as balls.

        It appears to be on some sort of apparatus that can make it draw a line, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some gimmick that makes it actually draw cryptic letters or something too

      Take psychedelics, why not, go for it.
      Put lasers near your eyes, absolutely.
      But never, EVER, take psychedelics
      and ALWAYS put salt in your eyes!

        If anyone was curious the reason for “cheese” is to turn black tar heroin into a snortable powder. It’s not really well known because people who buy tar smoke it or inject it and if you wanted to snort heroin you would just buy powder form, but powder used to be hard to find on the west coast until fentanyl became big.

    Do not look at the laser with the remaining eye !!

    Even if we were in a simulation, we only exist inside of it and knowledge of whether or not we are “real” doesn’t actually change our interaction with the time and space inside our universe.

      The only thing one could do with knowledge of being in a simulation, is trying to find bugs and exploits.
      From now on, I expect anyone claiming we live in a simulation to have a working perpetual motion device, faster that light communication, or something similarly impressive. If they don’t, their claim is meaningless useless.

        Just because they can’t find exploits in a simulation sophisticated enough to run a seemingly infinite universe doesn’t mean there’s no simulation.

          I know, but otherwise there is no use for the knowledge that we live in a simulation. Unless someone can contact the outside of course.

    Ah, from the picture I thought he would teach us how to read barcodes (which do underpin human reality), but it’s just some boring simulation stuff.

    Well, a friend of mine took acid with a TV in the room, and it enabled him to see what was behind the signal, between the scanlines, on the other side of the picture. He then saw the message that held the secret to unlocking the truth of the universe.

    It said: LSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSD
