When people say /I'm not (.*?), but (.*)/, they invariably are what they're claiming they aren't. That's what that phrase means. There's even a wikipedia page about it:
If you really mean $2, then just say $2, you don't have to preface it with "I'm not $1, but" That's a waste of words, beating around the bush, a rhetorical shield, that reveals that you really are $1 and you feel the need to be defensive about it.
The word "but" in that context means the thing before it is false, just air escaping from the folds of your fat, and you can ignore everything after the "but".
This is a discussion about psychedelic mushrooms and fairytale-like hallucinations, so woo away!
