Transcript:
verne: RJ, running across a troll is about as likely as stumbling upon a flying unicorn. rj: You're right. rj: They just love using the horn as a toothpick.
@thebird55Were those trolls caught on a bad day? That second one looks like me except my bald spot is on the back side of the head not on the fore head.
@ Nabuquduriuzhur : Where does one even begin?Actually, I would tend to agree – somewhat – with the observation(?) that drug use can tend to cause a narrowing of view, but I would say that:
Drug experiences often lend the user to a more expansive/or different way to view the world, and can change a priori mental contexts. Reconciling that with a previously held view can be difficult or impossible, making one seem to be dissociated from more commonly held world-views (this is not an endorsement of views).The narrow-minded, non-drug user could be said to have a merely institutionalized, culturally accepted, bias.Everyone tends to be somewhat narrow-minded and usually only sees that attribute in others. There is a reason why Jesus is quoted as saying, “Remove the beam from thine own eye.” Or words to that effect.
