      I took acid and went to a Six Sigma Christmas party as a plus one to a friend who worked at a bank. LSD makes me very social and I just drank a lot so everyone thought I was just drunk. I think while trying to blend in I described myself as ‘a wild eyed grunt sent to war who just wants to kill. But in an economic sense. I’m just here to spread misery.’ And it was taken pretty well

      I’ve actually been to parties in Silicon Valley with rich capitalists before and did a bunch of drugs with them

      The capitalists themselves were pretty boring to chat with but I mostly hung out with the hired catering staff + musicians and the capitalists GFs and wives (usually 1-3 decades younger lmao). There were also some models that I think were hired to attend that were also really fun with hang out with

      It’s not terrible, there was weird performative white people woke shit like the host was a white dude, all his capitalist friends were white dudes, and the only POC was me, the party staff, and a few of the partners of capitalists. And they would do hippie spiritual sound baths, have black people play African drums in African garb while talking about the spirit of Africa, playing Indigenous music and saying how we need to respect their land, have Asian musicians talk about Buddhism and spirituality, etc.

      One of the Asian musicians even told me they went by their Asian name to the guests to seem more “oriental”. But he told me to just call him Alex LOL

      The mansions are usually decorated with both lots of recognizable local and famous art with shit taste but there were cool places to hang out at like the pool, sauna, movie theater, music studio, etc.

      I had fun being high af off a cocktail of whatever free drugs I’d get offered at those parties, but again, only because I mostly talked to the non capitalists there
