I agreed. Most everyone I know has known about 99% of the relevant info since highschool or college. Ever since I can remember, when normal people take acid or mushrooms, or even just getting stoned or drunk was enough perspective change to make tons of connections and talk about them. It's not difficult to understand if you keep it factual and talk to people in the language they understand. Many anons here know this and have mentioned it so many times. But the majority here can't resist the cinematic drama stuff that's daily. Because it is their identity now. Those folks are the ones yelling from the rooftops. The rest know and care, but are busy af in "the system".
It's like when the hippies where in the park dancing around and making signs calling normal people derogatory names and such. That excitement gave many an identity they preferred to the one they had before that didn't grant them the feeling of knowing something others don't and lording it over the outgroups.
If only serious looking and sounding people had been the ones to bring it to the public, it might have saved the next 40 years of underground use and research. It could have been like it is now, with waaay more people talking seriously about psychedelics.
Point is the JFK Jr is returning types have seriously hurt what should be a serious education for our society. Of course the media will blare that stuff to make it look stupid to normal people. It generates mucho clicks! Simple as that. Imo anyway.

I don't want to detract from your comments, but people were complaining that Trump wasn't "presidential" enough due to his way of speaking. He wouldn't have been anywhere close to exciting if he was a "normal" politician. The person delivering the message should also have the right demeanor for that message.
Exactly.
So I guess where we may disagree has more to do with degree and timing. Basically what you said. There's a context for acting different ways for different results.
