  • I can't help but think of all the hippies who ended up becoming yuppies. Jerry Rubin famously became a Wall Street stockbroker later in life. In the end for the most part they were neoliberal rich kids that became neoliberal rich adults.

    Silicon Valley also came from the hippies, and Steve Jobs comes to mind as the ultimate "hippy capitalist". Also, I'm reminded about that story of Silicon Valley programmers who were microdosing LSD so they could be more productive at their jobs to make more money for their bosses.

  • janmeso [he/him]toveganChapos, what made you go vegan?

    Similar story for me. Realized the vegans were right but I only understood it in an abstract, cerebral way. Ended up being "flexitarian" for a while. Then I experienced ego death on LSD and came back with a greater gut-level appreciation for the interconnection between myself and everything/everyone else. Been strict vegan ever since that day, almost three years ago
