What do you keep living for? Is there a specific person, goal, or idea that you work for? Is there no meaning to life in your opinion?
Context: I’ve been reading Camus and Sartre, and thinking about how their ideas interact with hard determinism.

I’ve had zero interest in taking psychedelics in probably almost 10 years or so at this point (what’s the quote, “if you get the message, drop the phone?” something like that?), but I feel as though so much of my understanding of the world, and myself, was facilitated through them. I can’t imagine that I would be nearly as self-possessed and self-realized as I am now, if I hadn’t gone through those experiences when I was younger.
Indeed. For me, it’s just exploring for fun, now.
found an interesting article on the changing of that quote. didn’t even know Alan Watts had any overlap with psychedelics! always been a fan of both, this is a joyous day!!
