  • Is Ignorance Bliss? | After Skool

    Is Ignorance Bliss?

    Ignorance is defined as the state of lacking knowledge or lacking information. With the internet today, we are flooded with so much information that we can’t possibly follow it all. There’s simply too much for our senses to handle. So the short answer is YES, ignorance is bliss.Now, there is a focus for your life and if you want a sense of purpose, you will have to develop a skill or an expertise in something. This is where being ignorant will not serve you. Imagine if Steph Curry stayed ignorant to basketball? Or Conor McGregor refused to learn every single aspect of MMA? (Do you think Conor is a good example here? Tell us your thoughts in the comments)When developing a skill there are 4 stages. Unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence and unconscious competence. These are the 4 steps to becoming a master at something.For more interesting animations, please subscribe!Animation by KramGallery.comVideo clip about "practice" was Allen Iverson at an NBA Press Conference in 2015. Hopefully some of you are old enough to get the reference.

  • Could Psychedelics Be The Cure For Depression? | After Skool

    Could Psychedelics Be The Cure For Depression?

    Please help us keep this channel running by supporting us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/AfterSkoolIn the 50 years since this golden era, scientific progress in psychedelic research has been limited. A backlash against the hippy counterculture - “the war on drugs” - halted research into psychedelics. In 1971, the UK parliament introduced the Misuse of Drugs Act, classifying psilocybin, LSD and DMT as illegal class A drugs. All further research on psychedelics was banned.The definition of a schedule 1 drug, which the most illegal classification, is a substance that has no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Since the 1970’s there has been strong advocacy to take cannabis off the schedule 1 list. Cannabis has been found to improve many health issues, such as seizures, sleep disorders and arthritis. Although cannabis still remains on the schedule 1 list today, The evidence is so strong in favor of medicinal marijuana that it has become legalized in over half the U.S states and many countries around the world.The legalization of cannabis has opened the door to re-examine the possible medical benefits of other currently illegal substances, like psilocybin mushrooms, LSD, MDMA and DMT. The first new studies in over 30 years are finding that these so called dangerous drugs can have a profound positive impact on mental health when used properly.
    Depression is a growing problem and antidepressants continue not to work for up to half of the people who take them. A recent study examined the treatment of 20 patients suffering from depression. Half took antidepressants and half took psilocybin. After three months, the antidepressant effects were found to be greater for those taking psilocybin than for people taking typical antidepressants and therapy. Patients said they went from feeling “totally disconnected” with themselves and the world to “connected”, and from repressing and avoiding emotions and memories to accepting them.
    Unlike antidepressants, which are taken daily, psilocybin therapy would take place a few times over a series of months until the patient decides that they no longer need it.In most cases, only a few sessions of psilocybin are needed to bring about permanent change. Other research has found a similar positive impact on depression with the use of LSD, DMT and Ketamine. The push for more research on psychedelics is growing fast, but we still need a much deeper understanding before this becomes mainstream.
