Once again, I find that poppy seed tea does quite a fine job of alleviating the pain of existence, of enduring yourself in another cycle of consciousness, and with considerably low negative side effects, at a reasonable cost. For me, in a way, it's somewhat similar to a benzo.
I still believe that with the right combination of pharmaceuticals, which may not currently exist/be available, you could become a pharmaceutical wirehead, finally able to escape human desire.
Also, I'm not sure if I ever posted this, but I thought of a simple solution to major problems that arise from standard model wireheading. You simply program it so that you derive the pleasure from activities that are rationally chosen/beneficial. Now, this has the potential to become very dystopian, it's just a feeling that this is the case and when thought through there would be enough reasonable concerns that you could make a decent sci-fi book out of it (unless it's already been created, there's just so much that has been published). Main concern would be someone with Lanny's ideology in control, far too much danger, I don't believe you can likely impose and sustain a system that would prevent corruption and cause a critical failure when there's so much power available.
Anyways, back to the pharmaceutical wirehead: Then you could truly become a "machine", radically shifting the balance of control from the tyranny of the double helix to higher reason. Or, in my case, I could use the state to initiate The Final Game, a legendary act that could be called one of the worst crimes against humanity ever committed, or it could simply focus on being the most enthralling, though with mass casualties still expected as part of the game.
Lol watching these kids play out my window and this boy is tugging his little sister behind his bike, she's in a little wagon, and he bikes full speed and wipes out on purpose so her wagon flies into his bike and she tumbles out aggressively and starts one of those loud incessant cries.
Anyway, I got this funny story from 2010. I remember the year because it was World Cup (2006 was in Germany and 2014 we won it in Brazil) so everyone here is all football and shit and me and my buddies drove around and I was high as shit and there was this little girl that had a megaphone on a necklace around her neck that played this song in super shit quality
And she slipped and smashed face first into the pavement which triggered the "Ole! Ole! Ole!" sound and we all laughed our asses off and probably traumatized the girl.
The following users say it would be alright if the author of this
