P. cubensis kinda looks like little circumcised penises anyway. At least before they open up.

That is what people sound like that have taken too many shrooms. Comes a bit too close to newage bullshit. “Life is the universe evolving to experience itself through you” and bullshit like that.

You sound like a sour lemon. I’d rather hang out with a hippie that thinks the universe is conscious than someone who slaps a paper tiger license to their low originality threshold posts. Just sayin.

Sour lemons are tasty, dunno what your problem is 🤷 I wouldn’t want to hang out with some rando called “balloon” from the internet either. Just sayin.

But it’s cool.

Just don’t go thinking it means anything other than nature is awesome.

I just think there are better ways to say nature is awesome without adding mystics, new age stuff, or fantastical expressions to it. Then it starts turning into non-science.

I like those better ways too, but I’m me and you’re you. I think the vulgarisation like in the op are good and useful as well. We’re not talking about Deepak Chopra here, just a little mycological poetry.

I would use the word “special” rather than mystical, but the awesomeness of reality can often feel mystical. I think it’s ok to play with that as long as you aren’t making any serious claims, like we should order our social structure around fungi deity or something

Are you giving out a license for all your posts? Are you following up on the usage or is it more of a symbolic act?

I’ll probably determine if it’s symbolic when it turns up in some commercial AI.

Seems like the actions of a person who took too much acid and warped their own reality.
