You're not growing on X, because... → You aren't posting long form. → You aren't commenting enough. → You didn't send enough DM's. "But I did all of those things!", you scream. This is exactly how I felt after 9 days on X. I was stuck at 55 followers. Yet, only 5 days later- I had over 122 new friends. Crazy, right? I gained almost 80 followers in 4 days. Every creator, will give you a different reason for this. 1. He did the work 2. He found his niche early 3. He focused on providing value But that's all a lie. (not saying you shouldn't be doing those though) I honestly only did 3 things perfectly. ━━━━━━━━━⁌•⁍━━━━━━━━━ 1) Focused on Friends, not Followers ━━━━━━━━━⁌•⁍━━━━━━━━━ I spent WAY too much time- I'm talking days. Worrying about my follower count. I'd get up every morning at 5, and scramble to check my laptop. 2 new followers And then I'd spend the next 4 hours, angrily over-editing a post. I was losing my mind. Seriously. Is my writing just not good enough?, I wondered. Why is nobody liking my stuff? Then I discovered @viggofredrikson page & BOOM! It clicked- Focus on making friends. So, I took the next day, and- JUST focused on engaging. 100x comments was the goal. But REAL engagement. Not just a: → thx buddy! → Well done, keep it up! → Make that paper, player! A well written, personalized reply. Something like- "Amazing Stijn, really digging all of your tips! Can I ask if you took any courses or joined paid communities when you started?" (I love using questions in replies btw. If you write a good one, you might even get a reply) or, just a totally ridiculous 1 liner. On that point- if you're funny, ALWAYS use that. Everybody loves to laugh. I read & like all of @papa_gorgeous stuff, for this exact reason. Lil Bonus tip from @theharrybeadle → use people's first names in your replies. We all love to hear our own names. Those little honest & quirky comments of mine, showed people who I was. Just a nice guy wanting to help anybody who is struggling. After that, I was gaining +15 followers a day. By the way- Long Forms will help people STAY on your page. Good replies will make them GO to your page. Also, I just- ━━━━━━━━━⁌•⁍━━━━━━━━━ 2) Tried to be Kind & Supportive ━━━━━━━━━⁌•⁍━━━━━━━━━ In real life, I'm a massive hugger. I will hug absolutely anyone, without thinking twice. • strangers • firemen • stray dogs When I joined X, I knew I wanted my writing to be a reflection of that. Which is a guy who always tries to make people smile. That's why I used words like- → Buddy → Friend → Champ → Winner In all of my replies & DM's. I wanted my audience to know, I want them to win. I mean- it was the first time they were meeting me. You're new. I'm new. So if they replied with kindness, they could be my friend instantly. Then I would support their posts as much as I could. → like anything they post → leave a supportive comment → like all the other comments on their posts. I grow. You grow. We all grow, together. ━━━━━━━━━⁌•⁍━━━━━━━━━ 3) Sent DM's full of love & honesty ━━━━━━━━━⁌•⁍━━━━━━━━━ When I joined, I was surrounded by rockstars. Literally, everywhere I looked- • I grew from 0 → 560 in 4 weeks • I just 30x my post engagement overnight • My father is Batman Which made me instantly terrified to write. How could I compete with these guys? So I went with the oldest trick in the book- Kiss ass like crazy. When in doubt- just be humble. I started with sending @theseancanela a DM. • I was loving his posts. • His growth was insane. • And his knowledge was really in-depth. The goal of that DM: Just let him know I want to be his friend. I deleted it 2 days later- after he didn't reply. I was convinced I was being overly needy. But crazy enough- 5 days later he replied. 'Hey dude, I've been seeing you everywhere. Thanks for the really nice DM! Let's connect!' Today, I'm in his Telegram Community. All I'm saying is opportunities for growth happen when you take the first step. Reach out. Stop overthinking it. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. The worst thing that happens? You delete a message. It doesn't actually get deleted. You still get a reply. And all your dreams come true? I've followed most of the people who have DM'd me and said: "Hey man, really dig your stuff, you just gained another friend!" Instant re-follow from me. Now go out there & make some friends, you champion! ━━━━━━━━━🏆━━━━━━━━━ You read all the way to the end? YOU LEGEND! We are officially friends now. (I'm busy ordering the BFF necklaces as you read this.) If this post helped you, consider: 1.) Liking 2.) Retweeting 3.) Following me 📷 And DM me, if none of this made sense- I'll make us a nice picnic, and we'll figure it out together! (PS: I kept the bad AI pic this time. I just loved Mindneet Boosts, for Mindset Booster)

@averros271828 @0xQuasark @thenursemark I think he meant, the substances not on this list, ie: alcohol, are the dangerous ones. And that shit causes violence. No prohibition there. So i agree with him. Stick to the Amazon 😉

Violent crime is caused by prohibition, not drugs themselves. Most substances on that list are not addictive. Safety profiles of most of these substances are better than Tylenol's. Most drug-related deaths involving use of these drugs are result of adulteration by underground suppliers, and are the direct result of prohibition. Just like people were dying from methanol poisoning when alcohol prohibition was in effect.

@0xQuasark Does it have to be just one? Mom, dad, sis & bro, even grandpa. pretty much every member of my conservative family would do good with some shrooms in em.

Honest question: If you could give one person a psychedelic experience, who would it be and which substance?

@Hankismoodi @0xQuasark Simple math. How many people has water killed? How many people have psychedelics killed? The answer is zero, if u were wondering.

@0xQuasark It really isn't

WATER IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN PSYCHEDELICS.

@bryan_johnson DMT would disagree.

Sleep is the most powerful drug available. For performance, mental health and well-being.

@SharifesGhost @0xQuasark There's literally a comment right underneath it that says that tho?

@0xQuasark You should delete this and fix the original caption. You’re implying this was a DMT experience, when it was clearly a 5-MeO DMT experience, which is a different psychedelic entirely.

There's a reason people say: "DMT isn't for beginners." And if you don't believe me, then listen to Neil Brennan explain why it took him 18 months to recover from his DMT trip. It might just save your life.

@0xQuasark Whatever you do, don't believe your friend when he says: 'I don't think it's working. Should we take another?'

What is the one thing you would have told yourself, before your first psychedelic trip?

@bryan_johnson Are you still planning on doing the 3rd trip in 2025 or did you decide to push it out a bit? Also, u gonna live stream it again?

good morning everyone. sending good energy your way.

I always think of this quote when I think of DMT: 'Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.' ~ T.S. Eliot

Joe Rogan describes his 1st DMT trip: "I didn't exist anymore, language didn't exist, history didn't exist... I was a part of the entire universe, and I was 100% conscious of that."

@0xQuasark We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

Most people think "stoners are lazy" What they're actually like:

@0xQuasark Abso-freaking-lutely. If I have to listen to my cousin talk about her baby for the 13th hour, I'm doing it half bombed.

Question: Do you use any substances before a family gathering, like Xmas dinner? Yes or No.

@Cornell Awesome study! @0xQuasark did a pretty cool thread on it btw. Pretty sure he mentioned you? Take a look maybe: x.com/i/status/19988…

An international collaboration led by Cornell researchers used a combination of psilocybin and the rabies virus to map how – and where – the psychedelic compound rewires the connections in the brain. Specifically, they showed psilocybin weakens the cortico-cortical feedback loops that can lock people into negative thinking. Psilocybin also strengthens pathways to subcortical regions that turn sensory perceptions into action, essentially enhancing sensory-motor responses. More: news.cornell.edu/stories/2025/1…

@AllenInstitute @SiddhantPus @_TheTransmitter I saw @0xQuasark did a thread on this and I'm pretty sure they might have mentioned you? This tweet of urs happened to pop up on my FYP today. Check it out: x.com/i/status/19988…

Psilocybin reshapes how the brain is connected. 🧠⚡️ Using cutting-edge brain imaging, the study found the psychedelic strengthens pathways related to sensory processing and weakened those tied to rumination. 🔗 thetransmitter.org/psychedelics/p… ✍️ @SiddhantPus for @_TheTransmitter

@0xQuasark Probably because God's Monster Cock wouldn't have sold as well.

"Why do they call it Penis Envy?" I have no idea...

@PaulAustin3w When 2 Paul's say the same thing: x.com/0xQuasark/stat…

Ancient Greece had one rule no one talks about: If you wanted wisdom, power, or legitimacy, you drank kykeon, the psychedelic brew. Plato, Cicero, & Marcus Aurelius did it. They called it the Eleusinian Mysteries, the rite of passage that shaped Western civilization. 🧵

@FatherMcKennaa I think that picture right there, has always been my #1 fear with psychedelics, and what kept me from trying any of them for years. Also, why I'm still a lil bitch when it comes to trying DMT, Ayuasca or LSD, tbh.

you will have exactly one trip where you think you're stuck forever you're not but holy shit does it feel real

@0xQuasark Most of the people I know who do psychedelics are like CEOs, scientists, data engineers, music producers, and yeah, sure, some of them do sell beads at festivals. But so does my alcoholic uncle.

Here's something I can promise you: 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗽𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘀. There are no people, selling their mom's TV for another hit of shrooms or living on the street because DMT just hit too good. If you think psychedelics make you a wash out, you've been fed a lie.

@0xQuasark It's like watching therapy in real time. Address the issue - big stress Start resolving it - stress starts decreasing Resolve it - stress is gone Now if that ain't the medicine doing it's work, I dunno what is.

Someone tracked their 200ug LSD trip with an Oura ring. Dose taken at 2pm. What a perfect visualization of a - Come up - Peak - Slow and beautiful come down..

@FatherMcKennaa @0xQuasark So you're telling me, it's like resetting my sense of self, joy, capacity for wonder and amazement, to when I was 7-years old? Yeah. Sign me up.

@0xQuasark It's not escaping to a fantasy world, it's seeing this world with five-year-old eyes again.

You don’t take psychedelics to escape life. You take them to experience it.

@FatherMcKennaa You mean if your friends ask you 'wanna do LSD with us and go to the planetarium', I should say yes?

When you get the 'calling,' it's already found you. Order the spores. Buy the root bark. Text that friend. Stop waiting for permission from the universe. The fact that you're thinking about it means it's time.

@0xQuasark Are you supposed to have some kind of integration plan, before you take the psychedelics? People talk of set & setting, does that involve like a checklist of what you are hoping to address? Like, what conversation you're wanting to have with yourself?

Taking psychedelics with no integration is recreation. Focusing on integration after having taken psychedelics? That’s called doing the work.
