AI Thread Summary
Concerns are raised about a friend's deteriorating mental health, particularly his belief that humans are stars in the Milky Way, contributing to a collective consciousness that creates a holographic reality.

Hello.

I have a mentally ill friend and am worried about him. He's always been crazy but he's gone off the deep end now.

He is adamant that each human is a literal star circling the milky way galaxy and that the energy contained within creates a collective and singular consciousness that generates a holographic reality that we call the universe!

How can i talk him down!?

Thanks for your time in advice, Ste.

Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...

Thread 'Warning of new opiod drug (nitazene) on the streets: Question re strength...'

Whenever these opiods are mentioned they usually mention that e.g. fentanyl is "50 times stronger than heroin" and "100 times stronger than morphine". Now it's nitazene which the public is told is everything from "much stronger than heroin" and "200 times stronger than fentany"! Do these numbers make sense at all? How do they arrive at them?
