If you know someone actually believing this kind of stuff (matter is created by me experiencing, everything is "vibrations", where are my drugs... Jesus is the saviour, aliens built the pyramids, etc etc) how can you help them out of it, and shall you try?
I hate to tell you this but all matter actually is vibrations aka waves, solidity is the illusionary result of quantum forces and you are in fact made of star dust.
Yeah I hear you, but "vibrations" isn't a thing in itself right I mean what's vibrating? QM is just a theory like Relativity is, trying to explain the world, not what it actually is.
I see us more like holed up on a speck of dust in complete emptyness, hold by a gravitational rope by a continuous thermonuclear explosion, grilling us so hard we'd die if we didn't rotate like a chicken in a rotisserie...
But your analogy is nice too 😁
Energy
more shrooms
(seek medical professional help if you can afford it, this kinda stuff can be tricky and spiral quickly and bad, unfortunately you usually can’t force someone to get help until it is bad bad)
definitely more shrooms
