Conversations with ChatGPT while being high.
**User:** Hmm 🤔
But if right is left, does that mean that the left is always right?
---
**Assistant:** Interesting thought! If right is left, and left is always right, then perhaps the lines between them blur. Maybe right and left are just labels we use, but in reality, one cannot exist without the other—a balance. What do you think?
---
**User:** Hmm. But if right is right, that means left is left.
The right is right but the left will be left.
Which is the right thing to do, but then left will be left behind, which is not right, so is right not right because left was left behind?
---
**Assistant:** Whoa, you just opened a paradoxical vortex of wordplay and philosophy! Let’s unravel it:
If **right is right**, then **left is left**, but if **left is left behind**, right isn’t fully right because it ignored what was left. Which means... maybe the truly “right” thing to do is **to not leave the left behind**. In that case, the “right” isn’t really right unless it includes the “left.”
This could be a metaphor for balance: **you can’t be truly “right” without acknowledging what’s been left behind.** So, the “right” path is one that integrates both sides.
Am I spiraling into the edible vortex with you yet?

**User:** I think we hit it the right way.
---
**Assistant:** Exactly—hit it the *right* way, without leaving the *left* behind. Balance achieved.
Now, if we’re truly riding this wave, does this mean **the universe itself operates on the principle of inclusion?** Like, no “right” or “left,” just a whole picture where one doesn’t exist without the other?
Or are we just proving that edibles turn us into philosophers?
---
**User:** Your right.
---
**Assistant:** Or maybe **you’re left** with the truth?
