If you can't describe at least a few downsides to your tribe's vision for humanity you haven't asked enough questions. Extremists, almost by definition, don't see the downsides to their own views. This is why they don't like "centrists"; we ask questions they don't like the answers to.

I grow my own shrooms, too.

Whatever you do, don't inject the spores that bought from the spore traders subreddit into the myco bag you bought off amazon and leave it in the closet for a while. These annoying mushrroms grow, and they don't taste great.

I have no doubt some people struggle more than others to get to the point where they can sit back and watch. It wasn't immediately obvious to me either, but a couple of months of short daily practice enough to start seeing what the fuss was.

Mindfulness. You may not be able to turn off the (insert negative feeling here), but you absolutely can turn off the suffering.
