| Viens aplams apgalvojums. |

"Pētīt, izgudrot un konstruēt var tikai skaidrā."
Acīmredzot ir vesela strīpa ar cilvēkiem, kuri neko par šo apgalvojumu nezina, un ir izmantojuši psihotropas vielas, lai veiksmīgi paplašinātu apziņu, kas viņiem ir ļāvis tikt pie atklājumiem un sapratnēm.
Iespējams, ka apgalvojuma autoram arī būtu kādi uzrādāmi sasniegumi, ja viņš kaut reizi būtu mēģinājis, ko atklāt "neskaidrā" :D Bet to mēs visdrīzāk nekad neuzzināsim.
"The link between altered states and discovery is not new. The chemist August Kekulé famously attributed his discovery of the benzene ring to a waking dream of a snake biting its own tail. Francis Crick openly discussed the role of altered states in helping him visualize the double helix. More recently, computer pioneer Steve Jobs described psychedelic experiences as among the most meaningful of his life, crediting them with shaping his creative intuition.
One compelling example of insight-driven exploration comes from Bruce Damer, whose work on the origins of life has been informed by non-ordinary states of consciousness. A computer scientist and astrobiologist, Damer argues that psychedelics like ayahuasca helped broaden his thinking and contributed to his development of a groundbreaking model of the origin of life."
Sākt analīzēt, ko vispār nozīmē "skaidrā", kad mēs gandrīz visi lietojam psihoaktīvas vielas ikdienā, pat ij netaisos sākt. |

Kekulé's dream.
The German organic chemist August Kekulé described the eureka moment when he realised the structure of benzene, after he saw a vision of Ouroboros:
"I was sitting, writing at my text-book; but the work did not progress; my thoughts were elsewhere. I turned my chair to the fire and dozed. Again the atoms were gamboling before my eyes. This time the smaller groups kept modestly in the background. My mental eye, rendered more acute by the repeated visions of the kind, could now distinguish larger structures of manifold conformation: long rows, sometimes more closely fitted together; all twining and twisting in snake-like motion. But look! What was that? One of the snakes had seized hold of its own tail, and the form whirled mockingly before my eyes. As if by a flash of lightning I awoke; and this time also I spent the rest of the night in working out the consequences of the hypothesis." | |
