  • What Ketamine Does to the Human Brain

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 5 20:30:53 2025
    What Ketamine Does to the Human Brain

    Excessive use of the drug can make anyone feel like they rule the
    world.

    Last month, during Elon Musk's appearance at the Conservative
    Political Action Conference, as he hoisted a chain saw in the air,
    stumbled over some of his words, and questioned whether there was
    really gold stored in Fort Knox, people on his social-media platform,
    X, started posting about ketamine.

    Musk has said he uses ketamine regularly, so for the past couple of
    years, public speculation has persisted about how much he takes,
    whether he's currently high, or how it might affect his behavior.

    That's a fact.

    But people should be speculating on how much of a douchebag he is, to
    what degree he sucks ass, and how it might affect his shit website,
    garbage Nazimobile cars, and asshat reputation/personality.

    How do you suck ass? I can anatomically see how one might suck on someones penis, but the ass, I do not know.

    I've seen the depression word used, but not bipolar.

    Manic episodes involve extreme feelings of happiness, energy, and

    Ahh... that would make sense. His extra rush of energy could be an asset
    when building billion dollar companies!

    French Senator Claude Malhuret:

    "Washington has become Nero's court, with an incendiary emperor,
    submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war
    with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a
    traitor."

    Well, that explains the purchase of Twitter ... and the ensuing buyer's
    remorse ... pretty satisfactorily. Remember when he was all obsessed
    about bots on Shitter? Nowadays, not so much.

    Garbage website.

    To understand what happens in the mania phase, its best to know
    someone who is bipolar.

    extreme feelings of happiness, energy, and
    activity, along with poor judgment and risk-taking.

    Their reasoning can be off the charts, and sometimes, they can hit the "jackpot" financially by taking a chance on this/that idea, as Ted
    did.

    AI Overview - Yes, Ted Turner has publicly disclosed that he has
    bipolar disorder. He has spoken openly about his struggles with the
    condition, stating that it has both challenged and enriched his life.

    Turner's penchant for controversial statements earned him the
    nicknames "The Mouth of the South" and "Captain Outrageous" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Turner

    I think we can see a big amount of risk taking in Musks behaviour. I
    always wonder if he will go the way if Icaros? The more successful he
    gets, the bigger the rush, and he might justify the risks he took and got
    away with, by superior skill. maybe he was lucky? We will see what happens
    once old age starts to set in. Contrast Musks wealth and business
    philosophy with that of the Wallenberg billionaire family of sweden, who
    have built their wealth slowly over 6 generations, with the fundamental philosophy of "esse non videri".

    A bipolar person I'm aware of "mellowed out" with time.

    I'm not aware of research on senior like bipolar persons, but I might
    suspect the "cocaine related secretions" in the brain decrease, or
    decreased brain cell sensitivity (and/or 'electrical' connections)
