This article proposes the very interesting view that things such as culture, media, countries, and ideologies are all just virtual realities with no objective existence. Throughout my experience with psychedelics, I have had realizations pertaining to this, but the article does an excellent job at explaining these fake realities we construct for ourselves in depth and providing a lot of great examples.

In the past, I have considered all of these things to simply be based on subjective ideologies, but the author has a more specific view of ideology that has it included under the umbrella of VR. This is a fascinating read and very pertinent to many psychedelic revelations.

Thanks, Ram, a great read. Unlike the majority of articles with VR in the title, this one had some intriguing perspectives on meat-space. I started thinking of various ruins as obsolete platforms, and how they ended up that way...which is a healthy meditation, IME Big grin
β€œI sometimes marvel at how far I’ve come - blissful, even, in the knowledge that I am slowly becoming a well-evolved human being - only to have the illusion shattered by an episode of bad behaviour that contradicts the new and reinforces the old. At these junctures of self-reflection, I ask the question: β€œare all my years of hard work unraveling before my eyes, or am I just having an episode?” For the sake of personal growth and the pursuit of equanimity, I choose the latter and accept that, on this journey of evolution, I may not encounter just one bad day, but a group of many.”

Thx Ram for the hint.

Long time ago, I've started not believing my own reality tunnels anymore as "true", yet I still have them of course as it is not obvious to not have them. Yet the gravity they take on me makes all the difference. I can now much better smile at them like it feels not being jailed by them as much anymore.
