Just smoke weed. I’ve had all my best ideas stoned.



What are those ideas? Can you name a few?


Well, the main one was my Ph.D. dissertation, which I can’t really describe because it’d dox me. But suffice it to say lots of other people thought it was a good idea too (journals, conferences, dissertation committee).

I came up with and implemented a programming language too, that was fun. Dunno if that was a good idea but it was certainly new.

Also an operating system based on that language.


Thanks for replying. I'm very interested in how our brains work and how we all perceive the world differently, so I was curious what kind of ideas those are. Especially psychedelic drugs are fascinating imo since they can have almost opposing effects, depending on the person.


Yeah it fascinates me too. If alcohol is social lubricant, weed is a creative lubricant. Couple puffs and the ideas start flowing.
