You can experience the world like a little child again. Except you have more knowledge and will probably understand the beauty of the universe in a more meaningful way.
At 21, I did a 6 month sabbatical from college just to experiment with psychedelics.
Here's a few things I did while tripping:
- Took a hike
- Danced in nature at the sunset
- Listened to music (1st time listening Pink Floyd, the TDSOTM is a must!)
- Took a swim in my hometown cold river
- Experienced the "yin-yang" almost as an emotion-like feeling. Observing on top of my hometown mountains the greenery growing up on top of the charcoal again, after 2 years, when wildfires took 80% out. The moon and sun being present helped.
- Walked around and explored a new city with music on (I was with friends, they were sober)
- Painted and did drawings (I suck at it, it was incredible just seeing the ink flow out of the pen)
- I meditated
- I wrote about stuff
- I explored the online content people make (r/LSD has a list of links + a lot of people on these communities provide a lot of interesting content)
- felt like a Neanderthal eating a very juicy peach for the first time by doing exactly the same
- masturbation (as demisexual, I wish I could had met someone who I could have sex with)
- I played computer and felt like a god (usually I'm a noob, on that day I was truly overpowered)
- I went to the beach
- To the raves (I hated it!)
- I observed animals
- I climbed some trees
- I spent time with friends
So... ye. You can literally do anything and you'll have a radically different experience from what you would normally feel. Just seek out information first how to do it carefully. I would also not advise leaving to far from home until you understand the dosages and the impact it has on you.
What you are referring to is the culture. Obviously people are big part of it but the office is a big driving force of shaping the culture.
Even in an online office! When I had Slack, I felt much more involved with people and the company (500+ employees) culture overall.
Ever since they transitioned to Teams, I feel like I only exist within my own team.
A pleasant and aesthetic office, surround by nature, built with sustainability in mind, etc is already a driving force for the type of culture you want instilled in your company.
It will certainly attract a type of people that want to work surrounded by beauty, it’s already paving the way for a common ground of understanding.
It goes much further than just wonder. It’s a feeling that persists. A nice feeling.
I feel like engineers and all the math-y sciences, especially male, tend to dismiss very easily aesthetics over functionality.
I was once like that. Until I get over my anxiety and started to hang out more with girls. Especially from the arts and languages side.
The way they choose their environments… where they go to eat out or have a coffee, the clothing they wear, buying flowers, how they setup their home…
Even when I was down, being in their environments just made me feel more cozy. It was heartwarming.
In contrast, most of my engineer friends have either literally a mattress and a desk. Or, they just buy for their house whatever, without any thought in regards to color pallete, textures, shape, etc
If the company is forcing you to put reminders instead of just letting you cancel right away, that's a dark pattern. I do not know about Linkedin, but I've seen plenty doing this, like Amazon.
If you do not have time to study... I had to do long commutes while working part-time to get my CS degree.
Sometimes I was left with only 1 day of study for an exam and this was the best method for me.
Isn't it completely unscalable? I work for a big automaker, there's literally people whose only job is to be compliant and inform the necessary leads about it. There's hundreds of countries, each with very specific things. If I study everything, I can't code.
When knowledge arrives at my team, is already condensed to the point of: "in X country, you must tell the prices of a call if you show a phone number for assistance"
Why should I explore every loophole of law to be compliant? That's the companies job, not mine.
Move in a critical moment, speed of decision for said move, cheating at this level is probably extremely hard to do it alone which already creates space for leaks...
This is such a common fallacy in this topic. They imply people will do these drugs just because they are legal. Does everyone is smoking cigs? Or drinking alcohol? Or taking psychedelic seeds and plants that in a lot of countries are not defined as illegal? No sense.
You gave a really bad example with Portugal, completely contradicts your position.
Portugal literally allowed people to do hard drugs, no matter which, safely, instead of persecuting them. Portugal has a table in their legislation with the drugs amounts people can carry with them without ever being considered a crime if it falls under.
There was a heroine epidemic in the 90s, not only now they have proper places where they help people inject themselves, they also provide psychological help.
Compared to the normal way other countries deal with drugs, this is much more close to have all drugs legal than not. So I'm not understanding the position of no reasonable person would want drugs legal, given that in the 90s seeking for a close-state of being legal was what Portugal sought and achieve enormous results with it that it is still the law we have today.
source: I live in Portugal and I have tried a myriad of drugs from "soft" to "hard" without ever fearing for my safety in regards to the law.
