      I see your five paragraph long greentext post about forming pacts with deities from pagan occultism to charge your J.O crystals with long forgotten rituals requiring blessed lube on /x/, and raise the ante by sharing six paragraphs of my personal tales using heroic doses of magic mushrooms to experience ego death, astral project, and telepathically communicate with divine cosmic consciousness using trees as a medium!

    Nope. At least not for some. It’s like those quirks and oddities that you found fun or entertaining in your peers when you were school- or maybe college-age get set on a slippery slope, sometimes on a skateboard with a tailwind. Extremes of politics, weird beliefs in things like anti-vax or flat earth, pseudo- or bro-science, fundy religion, prejudices, addiction… age amplifies the fuckery in some peoples’ heads and makes them completely resistant to anything contradicting that. When whatever guard rails there were when these people were kids - teachers, parents, whatever… - disappear, they’re off the deep end.
