3. (Leary)The laryngeal-manual symbolic circuit (Wilson)The semantic time-binding circuit[23][24]Edit
This circuit is imprinted by human symbol systems. It is concerned with language, handling the environment, invention, calculation, prediction, building a mental "map" of the universe, physical dexterity, etc.
This circuit is activated by stimulant drugs such as amphetamines, cathinones, cocaine, and caffeine.[citation needed] This circuit supposedly appeared first when hominids started differentiating from the rest of the primates.
Robert Anton Wilson, being heavily influenced by General Semantics, writes of this circuit as the 'time-binding circuit'. This means that this circuit's contents – including human know-how, technology, science etc. - are preserved memetically and passed on from generation to generation, constantly mutating and increasing in sophistication.

It's also activated by eating meat. Step aside, monkey-boy!
I don't like speed. I found I'd be outside my body thinking how awful it was whilst gurning and chatting at a million miles an hour. It was always a last resort and the guy I knew who sold it was a nutter. I remember sitting on the sofa in his little flat whilst he was waving this huge knife around and ranting about something and just thinking "I need to leave".
I never want to be wired. I hate it. To me, it feels like the physical equivalent of that meme with the bloke wearing the mask, furious and sobbing behind it. Your body's running riot and dragging your mind along with it and it isn't pleasant. It's like trying to keep the ball in the air for as long as you can because something awful will happen if it drops. It's not that it feels good, it's that it makes sitting still and slowing down unbearable. I had a similar experience when I got bored and drank something like twelve cups of tea in an hour or two. Horrendous. I wanted to run round in a circle screaming for as long as it took to stop feeling like that.

I'm still feeling you out. Very young and wealthy Computer programmer with normative right of centre/libertarian politics, conservative aesthetics but moderated by intellectual ambition and more openness and curiosity than is normal for the type. That's what we know so far. That's what @version said when I asked him what your dating profile would look like

How many of these states can be attained by sheer mental effort? I've only tried LSD, but when I sit still and focus long enough, I can tap into a similar state - sort of a hyper-sensitized, alienated-from-your-surroundings state, but that alienation isn't always uncomfortable, in a weird way.
