Math, not even once.
It's all a little bit mathy.

Derivatives: just say NO.

I’ve actually seen fractals before and it’s the most interesting thing ever

I once experienced the carpet morphing into an Aztec mandala, which I then fell into and spiraled downwards through into a vast lime colored underground sea in a cavern full of purple bats.
This happened while I was trying to have sex (amazingly, we succeeded, it helped that my wife was sober).

Holy shit

IT IS THE MOST AMAZING
I have seen then on the brushed aluminum of my laptop at the time on regular (large dose) LSD… and I certainly see them (and strings connecting the present to the “future” on n,n-DMT.

DMT brings you to the fractal universe, albeit for only a short visit.

I know, right? I want an explanation so badly.

I’m doing a [LARGE AMOUNT] here in a couple weeks, I’ll get back if I find out.
For the feds: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-Acetylpsilocin
Unscheduled.

Seriously, though… Is there some fractal geometry to the way our neurons are interconnected/communicating that’s responsible for producing the kinds of visuals we see under the influence of certain substances? Or do we still have way too much to learn about the brain before we answer questions like that?

Itsa more that many fundamental laws of our reality are fractal-like and as we impair our critical thinking functions and neural circuits with psychedelic drugs, these underlying layers are revealed

I vibe with those vibes.
The machine elves, though…

Everything is fractals, duuuude…

This is literally what it looks like after you do an irresponsible amount of mushrooms and need to take a nap

Not because drugs, real world IS fractal

There was some 1990s documentary about fractals, narrated by Arthur C. Clarke (I think), where he said something along the lines of “I’ve not tried this myself, but I’ve been told there’s certain illegal chemicals that can cause hallucinations that look like fractals”.
(I have this on VHS tape somewhere. Should probably digitise it.)

This isn’t an actual New Yorker comic, right?

Did Spider-Man and Doctor Strange do drugs before that one fight scene?
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 months ago
Yes. Next question.
