Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

MG, I'm not sure I would use the adjective "beauty" for that Twice as Nice performance. I think I would call it FUN!

It would be great to see what they did for some other songs.

P.S. When I say I'm not sure I would use the adjective "beauty" I am talking about the performance, not the performers!

Things that are not hateful , All seem to have a sort of beauty all there own . Even some insects ,
People , certain other things I don’t really understand . But some are kinda awe inspiring just by themselves .
Wonder if everything has a degree of beauty in it .?

I have a soft spot for post-industrial wastelands- there's just something about greenery growing back over broken walls and paving. ('course, you have to watch out for the broken glass....) This evening I kind of got stuck for a bit watching some woodpigeons settling down in a tree for the night. They're a very common bird round here, but I still absolutely adore them. Back in the summer, I rescued a copper warming pan with a hole in it that had been abandoned in a student kitchen. No idea what to do with it, so it just sits on top of a book-case, shining.

People should read Aldous Huxley's "The Doors of Perception"

LSD gave Huxley an appreciation of every living thing and pattern in nature.

The book inspired the lead singer of the rock band "The Doors", Jim Morrison.

acid is a great amplifier of what is going on in the brain, for good or ill.

Exactly, it amplifies what we already perceive. In stereo.

Peyote cactus too - made our ancient ancestors spiritually evolve while around a campfire smoking pipe tobacco.

DMT - allow(ed)(s) our family tree too see inside the 'alien dimension' and has sexual experience with beautiful earth while out of body.

Alfred Hoffman first extracted LSA from seeds his friend gave him, the same seeds the Mayans took (the ones who created time in placing of sun) thousands of years ago, and converted into LSD - saying that the world became beautiful - and created many 'sub-LSD's' like 1p-LSD - but LSA is fascinating - the hallucinations at peak are beautifully strange and 'Aztec-like' - spiritually enlightening - but around 1/5 strength of LSD.

Yes the world is beautiful - so vast and endless. Mother earths egg holds many creations in such big space. I have forever found buildings fascinating - alien box structures on mother earths egg.

Humans presence on earth unusual though - like there is something else going on. We in God's simulation maybe -

"Too see a world in a Grain of sand (in a endless universe),
And Heaven as a wild flower,
Infinity in the alternate universes,
And eternity as an hour."

:D

I agree that pharmaceuticals should at least issue 'micro-dose' LSD blotters to patients with psychiatric and psychological vulnerabilities, cancer and physical health problems - if the secondary person consents to such.

5 years in therapy could be complete on an hour on acid or phyclobin and a month in hospital with cancer could be made better and more manageable with routine micro-dosing - and upon research - pain can also disappear during LSD trips because the user is so absorbed in the beauty of the real world as it's pure self, not the simulated dream machine we live in.

The long term effects from taking hallucinogenic drugs (even in micro-doses) is difficult to gauge. But given psychotropic medication is freely available it does seem incongruous why pharma has been barred from investigating it's potential benefits?

no, selling the figurative experience of experiencing experience in 10.2 channel surround with smellovision [IOW selling acid]. if you were wanting the actual equipment, go to any A/V store in a storefront or online [amazon et al] but it will co$t some duckie$.
