I estimate that I have experienced between 100 and 200 sleep paralysis, many of which were lucid (meaning that I knew I was experiencing a sleep paralysis). In this video I articulate what I have learned from all of these experiences, share some particularly strange stories, and give you tips for how to get out of a sleep paralysis if you find yourself trapped in one.

Please do not confuse niacinamide with niacin: "PSA: Do not take Niacin to end an LSD trip" - reddit.com/r/LSD/comments/53lmiw/psa_do_not_take_niacin_to_end_an_lsd_trip

"Niacinamide helps in sleep enhancement as evidenced in a 3-week study of six subjects with normal sleep patterns and two with insomnia using electroencephalograms, electromyograms, and electrooculograms to evaluate sleep patterns at baseline and after niacinamide treatment. There was a significant increase in REM sleep in all normal-sleeping subjects, but the two subjects with moderate to severe insomnia experienced significant increases in REM sleep by the third week; awake time was also significantly decreased (Robinson et al., 1977)." - sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/nicotinamide

$High Entropy Alloys of Experience ~*Suggestion*: Play a music album you like in the background while listening to this talk.~ How do we find the gems hidden in the state-space of consciousness? In this talk I articulate why it is very likely that there is a huge number of undiscovered states of consciousness that are completely unique, irreducible, and wholistically special. In metallurgy, a high-entropy alloy (HEA) is a mixture of five or more metals in high proportions, often giving rise to a single phase. Some HEAs have been found to have extremely desirable properties from the point of view of material science (such as being the best at both yield-strength and ultimate tensile strength at the same time). Given the huge space of possible mixtures of metals, finding these carefully balanced mixtures with unique emergent properties is both a science and an art. It calls for intelligent strategies to explore the state-space of possible alloys! I suggest that in the realm of consciousness there are also states that would be appropriate to describe as high entropy alloys of experience. I go into how this framework can help us understand unique scents*. We then explore how the receptor affinity profiles of drugs, drug cocktails, and drug schedules can give rise to unique HEA-like states of mind. I then also discuss how memeplexes have various degrees of total complexity, and how this makes some more receptive to dealing with complexity in the world than others. I offer that I really appreciate the HEA-like memeplexes that get expressed in places like EAGlobal, The Science of Consciousness, and Psychedelic Science conferences. I conclude by reflecting on how a productive mindset or mood optimized for a specific intellectual job is likely to be HEA-like because it requires the careful balance between many different facets of the mind. Topics you will master after seeing this talk for even just one time**: High Entropy Alloys, Bronze and Iron Age, Equiatomic Alloys, People Clusters in Parties, Scents*, Sexual Orientation, Gay Fragrances, Memeplexes and Mindsets, Vibe of Groups, Energy Parameter, Frozen Food, Crystallites, Space Groups, The Science of Consciousness, EAGlobal, Psychedelic Science, Search Heuristics, DMT as Competing Clusters of Synchrony, Birthday Cake Flavor, Cellular Automata, Optimal Mood for Productivity. *(HEAs: Le Male by JPG, Bleu de Chanel, Mitsouko by Guerlain.

Even multi-component alloys that are initially single phase after solidification tend to separate into multiple metallic and intermetallic phases when annealed at intermediate temperatures. - High-entropy alloys - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41578-019-0121-4 Featured image source: @fractjack$
