no, this is real and it was awesome. but maybe an AI could generate this. in which case maybe it would pass the turing case for this event.
another person told me that the mix might have occurred to reduce the effects or maybe cut it to have more opium to smoke, idk
Well these were native tribes that have been living in these mountainous jungles for a long time.
For me, I associate the label "locals" with a slightly more "modern" society which has been converted to modernism a certain amount.
In no way did I mean to demean them if that is where you are going with this. :)
But you can certainly call them locals if you wish.
The carousel metaphor reminds of when I smoked opium mixed with paracetamol in the golden triangle with the natives all night in their hut.
There was a period of time when my eyes were open yet in my mind a rolodex of motion scenes were flipping in my mind at a speed that I could understand each scene on each card.
Then the doctor(man manning the bamboo pipe) said to take a break. So I shifted out of smoke rotation and left the others enjoy.
Outside the hut in the middle of the night other natives were hunting in pitch dark with homemade rifles.
Really cool experience.
