Fearn, it wasn't helpful. It was super
Thanks for the elaboration.
And being a mining engineer who in my younger days had been blasting gold veins deep within the bowels of our mountains, I know exactly what you mean.
But hopefully not hoping against hope, I still look forward to the day when more drugs will be discovered, be they coming from plants or insects of the rain forests or from elsewhere.

Then what are we waiting for?
Earlier all I know was that the day destroys the night, and night divides the day. Now I feel like breaking through to the other side
But as mentioned, enough talking about shamans and chemically-assisted meditations!
On a more serious note, I'm sure we all agree with Vandoo when he said:

Referring to Davis again in the video, it's of course true that our present techie world is but just 300 years old. With all the progress it has made, I hope people will also not forget to tap into the wisdom of the ancients. Their knowledge gathered over a course of thousands of years, is to me a more valuable gold mine ... which reminds me of one of the greatest tragedies ever, the burning of the ancient library of Alexandria *sigh*
We would have found a lot of info there for sure regarding metallurgy, ancient weapons, if we are to go back to the subject as we should ...
