  • I read a book about the native Americans in my area. I think it was called “the ohlone way” it was a few years ago so the details are fuzzy. But I think it said the hunters would spend days in like sweat houses, sweating, maybe they were taking mushrooms or smoking, I don’t remember. But their goals was to think like a deer (or whatever prey they wanted to hunt) which they believed would help them hunt their prey. They wanted to achieve pure deer mentality to achieve their hunt.

    So everyone that wasn’t in the sweat hut had to go collect acorns and make acorn portage, which was quite labor intensive, and gather whatever other food, berries and shit, while these few hunter guys were tripping balls trying to channel pure deer mentality energy prior to hunting.















  • I had an Indian guy tell me Indians have been eating chilies for thousands of years and that’s why they can tolerate spicy food more than Americans. I told him chilies come from the Americas, aren’t native to India, and only arrived after the Columbian exchange. The guy nearly wanted to fight me over it, insisting that chilies are native to India.
