Did LSD last summer during a dark point in my life when I lost my motivation to life, it's not for everyone and it may even break certain people, but for my taking Acid made me have dark strips often and forced me to deal with my demons and made me realize what I want in life. Haven't been the same since, killed the existential dread you get when you're 12 so I finally got over my depression at the age of 17

I've done several psychedelics. Shrooms, Acid, and DMT. They all opened my eyes to how cruel I was to myself. I'd go into more detail, but... Well... I stopped smoking cigs altogether, and took a vow against future self mutilation. Even when I dissociated the last time, my main goal at the time when I wasn't really there was to feed my hungry belly. I've come very far. ^^

Aldous Huxley was one of the important influences on my development - he is what inspired a life-long love of learning in me, and has led me to now become a Neuroscience PhD student studying the mind, brain, and psychedelic drugs. I wouldn't have taken this route in life if it was not for his immensely inspiring life and way of being.
He was way ahead of his time, with an insight into things that was both extraordinarily broad and deep, from the most mundane social dynamics of the British intelligentsia, to the most profound realizations of mystics and psychonauts. Really a towering figure in the 20th century. Thank for you this video.

Aldous Huxley truly means a lot to me, despite having died before my father was even born. His book feel like genuine self-help books, in the same vain as how he perceived LSD, a mere tool that is up to the experiencer to decide. He has helped make so much sense of both the world, my surroundings and me on a frequency I feel like no person I know in real life matches, he resonates to me on this level never seen before. What I just do not understand is how Huxley (according to google trends) is becoming less and less popular, despite being ahead of even most people of our time. I really hope more people will find out about the man and read his works, because his genuity extends way beyond that of Brave New World: think about the books he mentioned here (Perennial philosophy, Island, Brave New World revisited) but also 'Ends and Means; and 'Heaven and Hell' (not to be confused with the 'between heaven & hell).
There's just so much to learn from this guy, and if I had a single wish it would be seeing his reaction to the modern world and hearing his take on it. I think even he would be astonished at just how accurate his claims have really become, throughout reading the biggest works of his, I've only stumbled upon a single thing that didn't come out to be true, and it was so minor I don't even remember what it was.

I read the book recently and I keep sharing this quote everywhere because it is so accurate to how the games industry works:
"Nowadays the Controllers won’t approve of any new game unless it can be shown that it requires at least as much apparatus as the most complicated of existing games."
I received Doors Of Perception as a book prize for creative writing when I was 18

it's pretty ironic how Huxley and Orwell had opposing views on what leads us to destruction, yet they were both simultaneously right about it.
