But conclusions not Solutions
we don't know what we know every conclusion that we've made is the result of a collection of measurements and constructs we've made to make this conclusion not to mention there's plenty that is not visible to the naked eye so a full observation could not ever be made therefore every conclusion we make is based off of limited info gathered
Take reading a book for example. The author and the reader have wildly different experiences that made up who they are and have different features of knowledge as well from these said experiences. The odds that the reader and the author have experienced every single event mutually is damn near impossible.
Therefore everything that the author knew that they were going to put in their said book is not all going to transfer to the reader because clearly they're going to miss out on something because then you got to bring in their comprehension skill which also measures against it which again is another construct we use for measurement.
Words are a construct we used to communicate
Temperature is a construct we use to measure how hot or cold something is
And time don't even get me started on time. The only reason why we even have an excuse for time is because of the fact that the sun rises and sets. Because after all in places like heaven and hell time doesn't exist eternity does but time does not.
Basically all our knowledge has only been concluded based off of the info that we have and we clearly don't have all the info that's needed to make most of these conclusions so we must assume that the conclusions we make are flawed -
What is death?
Death? No matter how we Define it there's always a flaw and its definition.
Especially if the definition that says
"death is the point of which something stops existing"
Well clearly nothing ever stops existing because people have a mind and they're able to remember things therefore back whenever my dog died then that means she didn't really die because everybody that was a part of her life remember her
She still exists her corpse is buried in our backyard along with her collar and Leash right next to her in fact that collar and Leash belong to her and it always will belong to her even after death. Those are her belongings those were used for her and only her. So she never died or ceased to exist she just stopped living which means as a fact death is not the opposite of life -

Mr Avi, in your opinion can alcohol and drugs be used on the daily/weekly/monthly to a safe limit and be regarded nearly or just as healthy as other stress relieving activities? Where does one draw the line between use and misuse? What amount and type of physical and mental strength can be derived (or destroyed) from repeated consumption? Does creativity increase or decrease, for you personally, and how would you define the role of innate skill in biological alteration as regards to the school of thought?

So there's a few different parts to this big question that I'm going to have to answer in segments and I'm going to start with the easiest which is the consumption of alcohol and if it's really necessary.
Alcohol, it's clear the reason why we drink it is to feel happy or forget about our sorrows or to try and negate the pain. I do it and you probably do it too. With this said we could say that in a way alcohol can be utilized in the same way as somebody cutting themself out of depression now I wouldn't know because I've never done it but going off of the answers that people have given me in the past as to why they cut themself it can be relatable to alcohol. Now let me go ahead and give a little bit of Enlightenment on another part of alcohol.
When we drink alcohol we don't just drink a little bit and cuddle up on the couch and watch TV. No most likely the reason why you're drinking alcohol is to get buzzed or drunk. But here's the other thing when you're buzzed or drunk you feel so happy and so on top of the world. You feel like nothing could go wrong because you're so happy and her social walls have been torn down. Well I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to say "what if alcohol is only just making it easier to reach that point but of course it's only temporary." one must learn how to reach that point of ecstasy without the substance. Let me explain a little bit more.
It is clear that when somebody is under the influence of alcohol they are doing it to feel happy. But this happiness was always there may be deep inside of you but it was always there. What man should do it's fine. How to draw it out without killing their self. Now before I get called a hypocrite I am an occasional drinker but over time I really realized the physical cloudy feeling is Tristan easier version of the Cloudy feeling one gets when under any other questionable substance but to a lower point. Now this can't be recreated unless if you drink alcohol but the drawn-out happiness that everybody pursues can be recreated without it. Although, nobody ever said it was going to be easy.
As Friedrich Nietzsche most likely agree with "alcohol and religion are one of the same." we support both of these things most of the time thanks to the stigma Society has given it. Also the fact that it makes us feel comfortable.
As far as when is too much I can't get much of a philosophical answer on that.
Too much alcohol is whenever you reach the point whenever you grow a dependency on it. Because once you grow a dependency on it and you try to quit you could end up in the hospital even by cutting back just a little. I know this because it happened to somebody close to me.
Next segment I will be answering drugs -
As far as drugs go of all different sorts. Even though I am disgusted by 90% of drugs let me give some info on why drugs code not be as bad as society makes them out to be.
Now I'm not speaking for all drugs specifically I'm speaking for ancient drugs that were commonly used by the ancient civilizations. These civilizations half used psychedelic drugs as their way of life. Let me go off my personal first experience with marijuana. Clearly an ancient type of drug that is fairly close to being Nationwide legal. Now it is clear that not all people I have the same bad trips as others. But the best way I can explain what I experienced was a lot of knowledge and answers that were rushing through my head too fast for me to comprehend so I would do what any deep thinker would do. I tried to understand it and from my faint memory of what happened I know I came cheetah conclusion of how to stop warring ideologies. Although unfortunately when I came back I didn't remember all of it.
Some drugs create a massive influx of knowledge but in a way this knowledge is nowhere near condensed enough for any of us to decipher therefore it feels like it's been wasted. If anything were some of these psychedelic drugs have been helping civilization in the past for years. From Shaman's trying to get in contact with the upper and lower world to totemists trying to get in contact with their spirit animal which was everyday life for these people who says that it's not what modern day Society needs to fix some modern-day problems.
Now with what I'm saying. I'm not saying that you should go ahead and you just wake up one morning and inject heroin and see what happens because there is a such thing as bad psychedelic drugs. like I've said before I'm only speaking on the behalf of the ones that were used by tribes. But then again how would we know.
With being high or drunk creativity does see an increase. Although, this does come at a cost. For the reasons mentioned above it's really up to the reader whether or not it's all worth it or if it is worth it what drugs are worth it?
