Mario, the Idea vs. Mario, the Man

[smokingpoop]

Everyone knows Mario is cool as fuck. But who knows what he's thinking? Who knows why he crushes turtles? And why do we think about him as fondly as we think of the mystical (nonexistent?) Dr Pepper? Perchance.

I believe it was Kant who said "Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play." Mario exhibits experience by crushing turts all day, but he exhibits theory by stating "Lets-a go!" Keep it up, baby!

When Mario leaves his place of safety to stomp a turty, he knows that he may Die. And yet, for a man who can purchase lives with money, a life becomes a mere store of value. A tax that can be paid for, much as a rich man feels any law with a fine is a price. We think of Mario as a hero,but he is simply a one percenter of a more privileged variety. The lifekind. Perchance.

Mario and his antics are merely the hallucinogenic machinations of the psilocybin addled mind of Princess 'Toadstool' Peach. This princess is so desperate for a sense of purpose that she has convinced herself, through prolific drug use, that there is a little man running around risking his life, fighting monsters, becoming invincible, and learning to fly through the use of magic caps and eating fungus, all to rescue her from her own dull dull life - or to acquire a cake she supposedly baked for him.

Everyone is always asking “who is Mario?” And not “how is Mario?”

Those red mushrooms in Super Mario with the white spots are "Amanita Muscaria". A bit different from psilocybin mushrooms. They are the ones featured in a lot of Nordic Folklore related imagery. There are poison variants that will kill you within days by destroying your liver. If they don't kill you, they cause severe damage to your liver. That's probably the main reason they are not popular recreationally.

I found some growing in a near perfect circle one year walking in starved rock state park I was very tempted to eat one 😂 i like to play it safe and grow my own I’ve had great luck cultivating “golden teachers” from spore prints

They grow in my yard. Not the red ones though. I have a yellow variant that I have dabbled with a little bit. I'm reluctant to try a bigger dose than I have already tried. One of the effects is random nerve twitching. I wasn't too keen on that. I don't know if it increases at higher doses so I haven't so I haven't tried more. It didn't happen a lot but it was enough to make me feel uncomfortable about it. I studied and read a lot them for several years before ever trying them.

From what I read about them they make you perceive sensations similar to the mushroom effects in the Super Mario games.

Viking 'berserkers' used them to hype themselves up for battle I have heard...

"Some scholars propose that certain examples of berserker rage had been induced voluntarily by the consumption of drugs such as the hallucinogenic mushroom[36][38][39] or massive amounts of alcohol.[40] This is much debated[41] but the theory is further supported by the discovery of seeds belonging to the plant henbane Hyoscyamus niger in a Viking grave that was unearthed near Fyrkat, Denmark in 1977.[42] An analysis of the symptoms caused by Hyoscyamus niger are also similar to the symptoms ascribed to the berserker state, which suggest it may have been used to generate their warlike mood.[43] Other explanations for the berserker's madness that have been put forward include self-induced hysteria, epilepsy,"

Princess Peach has an arranged marriage to King Koopa, Mario is just a genocidal white knight incel chasing a woman who doesn’t want him back.

Mario doesn't always kill turtles, sometimes he only steals their homes to use as a weapon.
