Maybe I just watch a lotta 
vlogs, but the thoughts always come back to me. It’s like my conscious mind can step back from the controls and watch my subliminal mind take over on auto-pilot. Without thinking about it, my body is taking care of my material needs, my space, keeping me fed and comfortable. That subliminal force is there all the time though, I just don’t notice it. It has to be that way for everyone too right? 95% of our personal decisions throughout the day were based on subliminal thought & behavior patterns to keep us comfortable. Even the most spontaneous and erratic brain can only make a %5 sway on the ships course.
It’s probably a politically self-interested affirming idea that weed unlocks the Marxism in all of us lol. But it feels nice to have a physiological experience resonate with my beliefs.

Re-reading my post title after writing it in earnest has me laughing and cringing. It’s like an ironic jab at what a CIA asset would write to get commie cred.
Maybe it’s cause I’m also high rn but I don’t see how the thoughts you’ve just described relate that strongly to materialism
I think It’s my head being able to perceive and peel back a few layers of itself. A small recognition that consciousness is a part of every other material relationship.
Ah, I understand now. Yea that sounds really cool you find that nice and that it helps affirm your beliefs!
I do feel the same on weed and psychs! Very thankful that it helps ground me in reality whenever I trip balls because otherwise I’d probably be one of those people who believe in an alternate universe/plane/reality or acid beings
I wanna believe that the astral acid being believers would make amazing marxists.
It’s like a communist version of Jon Stewart in Half Baked lol
“You ever think about materialism
on weed?!”Weed just makes me anxious, tbh. But yeah, “the self,” “free will,” etc. - all of that shit is just an illusion.
It makes me less materialist. Makes me stupider.
As intended
Oooooh if you feel that way with weed, just wait till you try shrooms - it’s the ultimate humanist materialism.
Weed makes me paranoid and cranky. Maybe I was born weeded and smoking pushes me into negative weed territory, idk
Acid does that for me, although usually with more emphasis on the dialectical or "complex systems* part of diamat.
The 95/5 ratio is probably reasonable, but worth noting that the 5% active decisions can have a disproportionate impact. It’s that 5% that allows us to interact with our material environment, which then shapes our passive decisions, the 95%. Zoom out from the individual and there’s parallels at different levels, perhaps an argument for a vanguard party in some contexts.
Like using your ship metaphor, a ship is 95% at the whim of the ocean and wind. But the small tweaks and choices meant ships could, on average, fairly consistently, get roughly where they wanted to go.
Yeah it foes this but like the other person said, it also makes me paranoid lol.
