In my experience, Drugs that make u think like psychedelics are bad for people who are in a bad place (so the spirallers vs the growth mindset individuals) so for example I’ve had friends who said “I can’t smoke weed because it fucks with me too much” but then I’ve also seen Joe Rogan who literally gets into a deprivation tank on crazy psychedelics like mushrooms & edibles etc. which tells me that it’s not the drug that fucks with him or even if it does he’s still clear minded enough to be a ‘normal human’ by societal terms, thus, I’ve found that that doesn’t matter to people who are more ‘certain’ in their knowledge which is what protects you (belief systems) and allows you to say what you believe (or not to not hurt their feelings lol) but part of the reason I stutter for instance other than intimidation of the other (or perceived competence of the other) is to be assertive in your knowledge, courageous in your stutter, and admirable in your attempts to do so (everyone likes someone who gets up and fights everyday - even if its of spite that you do so) -> it shows heart and ingenuity 👍 I would also say that if you’re nihilistic and think nothing matters that that won’t you get anywhere in life, stutter or not.
