How did religion begin?

There are so many theories out there describing the tendencies of early man to explain his inner life and the world around him with spiritual terminology. What in your opinion caused religion to develop the way it did?

Hillary
Zanick
motherfucker
[my p.a. supernal goa]
I'll likely be voting for Sanders in the Illinois primary, and when he expectedly fails my vote will default to Hillary. While this wasn't my plan originally, what really sold me was her outlandish promise to make in-state tuition more affordable. I have a long way to go with my education, and Gov. Rauner hasn't produced a budget yet but it's pretty clear he isn't going to work in favor of the public universities in my state. Hopefully Hillary will remedy that somehow, even if it is just a tall campaign promise.

Giving infants honey isn't a great idea. My thinking is in agreement with Lanny's. If you want your kid to have a leg up, do the hard work - teach them discipline of mind and body, expose them to different ideas and encourage them to pursue experiences conducive to growth. Maybe by the time they're old enough to consider nootropics for themselves, we'll have more data available to support their decision.

sentience within conciusness

Damn, I didn't think anybody here was aware of tulpa work. I'd really like to see more research into the matter as I think it bears legitimacy and warrants scientific inquiry, but there's an unfortunate lacking of viable subjects as well as credibility within the discipline. I mean, when somebody tells you they bear host to a home-grown alternate conscious being exclusive to their awareness, it raises dozens of ontological questions and authenticity is immediately and understandably brought into question. The skeptic clearly has the most easily supported view in this matter and yet we have so many of us with undeniable success developing a relationship with tulpas. Meditation is a discipline which I believe will yield countless, previously unconsidered fruits to all who practice but I'm not sure I believe faithfully that science can apprehend the benefits in a way that demonstrates reliably what a pursuant stands to gain.

A gay compromise
Zanick
motherfucker
[my p.a. supernal goa]
Fags: We'll call you homosexuals again. You get to be mad if we refer to you as "homos" Otherwise, we reclaim terms like "queer", "gay" and "faggy" to mean unusual, moronic and fucking balls-on-testes homoerotic, respectively. I think we can all agree to these terms which I have determined are more than fair for either side of this ongoing dialogue. Thank you for your time.

Alcohol is the shit
Zanick
motherfucker
[my p.a. supernal goa]
I buy alcohol from the store where I work. Accounting for the employee discount, I've learned that, after downgrading in brand, I can get 750mL for a price that implicitly advertises "buy 16, get 2 free" and I have no problem meeting my end of this arrangement. Still, working full time for their regime I feel that a just labor policy would see that I'm compensated with as much as I need provided that my work performance doesn't suffer.

I'm on an improvised nootropic regimen: 5g piracetam 20mg noopept 200-400mg modafinil an unspecified amount of maca root powder because it's not FDA regulated but goddamn does that shit get me horny and kinetic sometimes bacopa monnierri even though it makes life feel hopeless pramiracetam when I need to believe in myself two to four drinks each night to help me unwind four to ten N20 chargers to hold on to a sliver of imagination l-theanine when I've done all of this wrong and I need to settle the fuck down These are the drugs that fuel my work getting hundreds of other low-income Americans their drugs and they would be fucked if I ever stopped taking them or left my position.

Do you contribute to a 401k?
Zanick
motherfucker
[my p.a. supernal goa]
Honestly, I don't educate myself as to why. I just know that social security isn't a guarantee for MOON PERSONs and that, with employer matching, I'll be able to save $700,000 to $1,000,000 by retirement. Yeah, it pisses me off that I don't have that little bit of extra spending money right now, but I don't have faith that I'd use it so wisely as to negate an investment for the future provided that I don't kill myself before 30 in which case it won't even matter.

Don't take this advice to heart; it's been along time since anybody dared to acknowledge me as "gifted" but if you're as smart as you say, try to maximize your sexiness as allowed by your bone structure and start dressing well. You really ought to be able to make something more of yourself, if not then it's difficult to accept your claims of superior intelligence.

Today the driver's side window slipped off it's track. I have zero knowledge of cars so pardon my ignorance if this sounds wrong to you. Anyway, I pulled into my driveway aware that precipitation is expected right around this time by most mobile-accessible weather reports, but instead I chose to drink myself to sleep. Now I'm still not asleep, but I am fairly drunk. Instead of doing the responsible thing and placing a tarp or another covering over my window to protect the car, I decided I'd rather deal with the damage in the morning. Maybe it's because I'm inadequately handling an inordinate amount of work and education related stress in my life right now, perhaps it's because I'm incompetent at handling a small degree of pressure at all or maybe I'm just an alcoholic with no deeper motivations and no viable excuse, but as I compose this thread I'm aware that I picked the shittier option. Share a time you consciously took the lesser option. What were the consequences? Did you anticipate them or were they a surprise?

Have you met the one?
Zanick
motherfucker
[my p.a. supernal goa]
I swear this won't be as gay as it sounds in the title. My current girlfriend and I both agree that the concept of a "soulmate" is bullshit fed to us as slave morality seeking to pacify our ambition. From childhood we have people telling us that someone out there is meant to be compatible: we have to find them, pursue them, sacrifice to make it work and struggle to maintain a relationship that was meant to be. It sounds like an assignment rather than a promise of happiness. When I was 17 I bagged groceries. One day I told my manager that I can't do it anymore and I wanted to move up. She had nothing at that time to offer me, but the next day some weird fucking Indian lady came into the store looking for strapping, handsome young gentlemen to help her move luggage from her luxurious home to a nearby storage unit. Responding to my inquiry, the boss passed her number along to me and I used my car to help her with the transportation. Unexpectedly she discovered an anthology of William Blake in the glove compartment and we got to chatting about poetry and mysticism. Bear in mind she was in my approximation within four years of medicare eligibility so this was obviously not a romantic connection in any way. From there she recounted for me her academic career in literature, briefing my impressionable young mind on the philosophies of Milton in particular but what she said that made the strongest impression on me was about love. She said, "Zanick, everyone will tell you to find somebody who's perfect, to compromise what you want to obtain the person you think you deserve because it's the order of the world. Don't listen to them, you ought to settle for somebody who is good enough and get on with your life." At first I thought this was cynical, defeatist in attitude and contrary to my inherited concept of Disney romance. Over the last few years, I've thought about it more. She was probably right. People are flawed, nobody will be perfect for me. Some people get that, but it's rare and they probably don't get to achieve the things I want to achieve.

tried some diacetylmorphine.

motherfucker
[my p.a. supernal goa]
Fuck, this stuff has made its way into areas directly adjacent to me within the last couple years. Every retail pharmacy in my market has been hit up daily with fake prescriptions called in for Tylenol #3 and codeine/promethazine syrup. My bosses keep saying, "Why do they want the least awesome opiate available by prescription?" and I keep thinking, "It's not a difficult synthesis to accomplish before you yield krokodil as the final product." I can't verify any of this, I'm not involved in communications with local investigators trying to subdue this anomaly of suburban opiate production but I don't see why else we could be getting two fake codeine scripts each day when they could easily try to collect something stronger.

Your average American doesn't care about immigration unless they live in a border state or a major city with lax enforcement of immigration laws. Of course they're morons, but they're better off voting for a Democrat right now than for a Republican. I feel sorry for all poor or black or poor black people in states controlled by right wing whores.

I'd expect something more outlandish of myself, given my thought process and my general patterns of behavior and self-presentation, but quite often my masturbatory aids are simply thoughts of my girlfriend on top. While this isn't useless in determining preference or disposition, I think it does tell me that I have a distaste for pornography in most forms. Even when I have indulged in material of others' creation, the most manufactured has been amateur videos or selfie stills. There's something personal about it, and I suspect it has to do with a latent voyeurism that only comfortably emerges when I express it outside the context of sexuality. I'm just a nosy motherfucker.

2016 presidential race
Zanick
motherfucker
[my p.a. supernal goa]
The Republicans are all losers, with the exception of Trump who is maybe a comedian and definitely a liberal satirist. Hillary is the most likely winner, but I don't trust her foreign policy and it's well known that the Clintons are both masters of double-speak and deception as well as completely for sale to anyone promising the election with large donations. Bernie Sanders is the only big name I'm aware of. Many voters in my demographic are defaulting to him, and I find his forthright criticism refreshing. But let's be honest, when people say he's overtaking GOP candidates and Clinton in the polls, that's probably just his numbers being reported - he's loud and that's what he's really good at. I hope he win because then maybe America will realize it's okay to have leftists again, but he's going to lose just like he always has. I want to vote because I think too much about our political future not to offer my minute citizen's contribution, but it really doesn't seem like this will go well. Who do you plan on voting for and why?

Being a vegetarian
Zanick
motherfucker
[my p.a. supernal goa]
can really be fucking exhausting. I'm surrounding by idiots, as are most people who make a decision that isn't based in ignorance. This post is more to complain than to persuade you to my thinking, I know many of the people reading this might well be enjoying third-rate animal products while they read this - no offense meant, just that Zoklet and its inheritors are mostly comprised of the disadvantaged, amoral and often quite depraved outcasts who I find most fascinating of all people. We vegetarians have our critics, firstly and most obviously. People think they can reclaim us in the name of omnivores everywhere as though it'd be some kind of victory. I had an ex who believed that, if we were to travel around the world to exotic places, that I'd join her in eating meat-based local dishes to more fully experience culture. She was wrong, it was a fantasy she entertained to disbelieve something she perceived about me as incompatible. College vegans are fucking idiots. Every university is a breeding ground for thousands of followers and a few gifted manipulators to engage in experimental leftist radicalism and this is something I see as important to our growth as a species, except that nobody thinks abstaining from meat is cool. Your friends think it's dumb, your date wishes she could share a forkful of the shrimp linguine with you but instead gets it boxed, your grandma lectures you at every holiday instead of kissing you on the cheek. It's not the sort of thing you brag about if you've successfully integrated it into your lifestyle. Every aspect of life is impacted by this ethical decision, it's like adopting a religion and acting on it mindfully with every meal, every clothing purchase, every vote for a fake local Democrat who disingenuously includes animal advocacy in their platform to garner support from an underrepresented niche ecologically focused demographic they want to win over your particular county when you know they don't mean it but they're the only one who even mentions this as a concern. Motherfucker shut the hell up, I do drugs and my cock is great
