The mathematics of omnicide

Some people say that the brain isn't a computer, but I'm still going to use that as a metaphor for the brain. Also, I think the brain is a computer as far as we understand, and technically I know we don't know what a computer really is because we're lacking understanding in fundamental physics, but I don't want to go there.

When someone uses a substance, it alters their mind in two main ways. It changes the information processing in terms of the information selected from the environment and how it's processed, and it changes the qualia of subjective experience – and I include emotional sensation as qualia as well.

The War on Drugs is a claim that all other changes in state of mind other than what the environment triggers or what approved drugs can do (many of which kill people and get them addicted) are harmful or what-have-you.

The fact is that having access to other states of mind would greatly increase our collective intelligence. We select different information from the environment to process, process it differently, and feel differently about it, which yields more wisdom, knowledge, and psychological perspective. This should, in turn, lower our *existential risk by removing a lot of threats inherent to our species. I don't have time to explain how this can occur, but "note sharing" between different states of mind is one of many concepts.

*(Existential risks are threats to our civilization or survival, and they are cumulative so if our species is made less intelligent on purpose, we open ourselves up to even more existential risks - the result is potential omnicide, or the destruction of all life on Earth though this extreme case strikes me as highly unlikely.)

So – the War on Drugs is literally, which is to say mathematically, suicide.

Interesting. What kind of treason is this?

Evolution has given us reason and certain people are bent on the destruction of our species and most other life on this planet in an effort to undo reason itself – with our inevitable failure. Of course, we're going to hell metaphorically anyway since the Sun is going to burn us, ironically, as it runs out of fuel – as we apparently deserve. I highly doubt we will survive long enough for the Sun to do us in, however. Regardless, the Universe is headed for chaos and darkness via entropy and the expansion of space and may stay there for an eternity.

What are we to say of the destroyers of reason? It is a destruction of ourselves.

This is not an intelligent species. It is a mother.fucking.plague.
