LSD and School

What is LSD's effect on your schoolwork? Has it made you smarter? dumber? I've talked to people on both ends of the spectrum. One guy says he has straight A+s because LSD has given him the motivation to assert his intellect, while other people (the more stereotypical group) say they just flunked every course and dropped out.

My theory is that whatever people's academic style is like before they trip is what it will be like after they trip, just magnified. If somebody is already a student who means well, then LSD will give them that extra boost to succeed. Meanwhile the kid who never does his homework will just shut off completely.

IMO, feel dumber since i've started taking acid, but i definetly am not. My grades are essentially the same as they've always been, a little higher actually.

EDIT: Although i often feel like i'm soon just gonna burn out..

 

i dont want to jinx myself but i took acid once over the summer and this year in school i am staying on top of everything but i dont think it has anything to do with the acid at all its just because this year i relized that if i dont start actully doing good in school staying on top of everything and getting good grades i will probly go nowhere in life

I dropped out

HAHA

 

haha me too i was one of those kids that jus didn't like homework so after i got into drugs i found out school jus wasn't my thing so now im starting a career in the snowboard industry doin somethin i love instead of somethin i hate lol

 

i think math is awesome to think about when tripping..i've dropped before and just done my math homework. math is crazy. one of the things i like to think about is Dividing by Zero...it's against mathematical laws..but i had a math teacher once who said it's possible but it's caused mathematicians to go crazy studying it. 0..nothing and everything. if all negative numbers have a value..and all positive numbers have a value..how does something smack in the middle have no value?

 

nah i can get them whenever i want i live in a suburb right outside of philly ,but how did you know im from pa? haha

 

PA suburbs rule!

 

LSD opened my mind to a world of understanding..I'm sure if I went back to school with what I know now, I'd have a whole new take on it...

Just be responsible

 

ive always been terrible with school, but ive taken tons of acid and i still graduated from high school.i think it all depends on the way you let your mind mold. if you think it will only make you dumber, then your mind will make you believe you`re actually becoming less smart. open your mind to new experiences and enjoy the trip

 

See now I have the ultimate answer to fuck up your trippy thought.
Nice try.
_________

Zero is nothing but the absence of a number.

It is sometimes used as an abbreviation for the number 10 when writing numbers like 100, the 0 simply represents 10.

0 Is the absence of value, a value equivalent to nothing.

0 = 0.
________

Furthermore negative numbers DO NOT have value. They are 'negative' therefore they reprent the absence of one unit of value, -1 has no value -1 means there is one less than zero there.
________


I hope you understand, it's simply a misinterpretation on your part.

 

lol you're right but i still love the logic of negatives and positives...the first thing they tell you is there's no negative numbers..only the opposite value of positive numbers..but that's still a value. and imaginary numbers..why did they wait so long to tell me?

i wasn't trying to sound deep..i personally hate the effort people go to to sound deep and eloquent sometimes : ) i just never realized how much i loved math

what about dividing by zero? i know it's "against the rules" but i had a math teacher once that said mathematicians have gone crazy trying to do it.

 

Negative numbers have Negative Value. Positive numbers have (Positive) Value. 0 is the point at which they meet and are snuffed out like flickering flames of fluctuating forces.

Eight parts of zero.

Zero split into eight parts.

Eight parts of what? Of zero.

Eight parts of nothing?

Yes.

So every part no matter how man parts there are, 1000/0, 24/0,21312/0; every part will equal zero.

Edit: That's about how I would explain my thought process after trying to answer your question jolo..

 

actually dividing by 0 is another way of saying that you are inflating the value to infinity. any number divided by 0 is an infinite value. 0 represents an asymptote. It is not a cardinal whole, it is a reference point. negative numbers represent a function. negative x is the same as the function (0-x). maths is not numbers and functions on them, they all interrelate and reference eachother. it is a web that connects back to itself in all directions.

Dividing by 0 only is hard if you visualise division as cutting something into parts. it is not a matter of cutting things into parts, rather it is a scaling of relative values. 0 and infinity represent the absolute extent of possible scaling

0 is not the absence of a number, it is an absolute scaling that gets the same result for all numbers (because it is absolute). it is the same as infinity. you can multiply infinity by anything and it will remain the same 'value'.

when you start to consider what it means for a number to be infenitisimally close to 0, you realise that it in fact IS 0.

 

Even if you do choose to visualize division as splitting up into parts, division by zero tending to infinity is a logical consequence of that: you are essentially breaking the number up into infinitesimally small pieces (although it may seem counterintuitive, of size zero). Do this to a number of finite value (and not equal to zero) and you will obtain infinitely many infinitesimally small "pieces".

 

I found a really wonderful theorem (with proof) recently that bothered me for quite a while:
It basically states that the cardinality of the set (of reals) from 0 to 1 (inclusive) is exactly equal to the cardinality of the set of reals ranging from -infinity to +infinity. But there is one little problem... the set [0,1] is contained in the set (-infinity, +infinity). Its all perfectly true though.

 

Uhhhhh! boring! what am i in school again?

 

I am sorry you don't enjoy thinking...

 

Oh i enjoy thinking! I enjoy thinking about fucking, smoking drugs, and of course fingerpainting.
