Nice, like the way you framed that! Okay let’s discuss, I’m personally theist; so I’m not going to use the Stoned Ape theory, Moses talking to an acacia tree or some new age theory to justify why psychedelic substances are not only useful, but critical to our species. I’ll start by directly responding to, what are some things that are, and have been, useful or in other words a benefit to specifically us human beings? Concisely I will list: survival, reproduction, innovation/adaptability, and our consciousness (the unique trait as an organism that has allowed us to reign over the animal kingdom realistically). Fair? Let’s briefly recall we are not the only animals that get intoxicated either, birds drink rotten fruit, lemurs eat millipedes to get fucked, and ofc, dolphins passing around their blowfish pipe to name a few. Perhaps before religion, sun gods included, I know that’s deepp rooted, there was something even more instinctual inside. Maybe a natural part of life, whether you don’t play taxes and swim in the ocean all that🐬, or have to slave away all your good years until you’re a shrill husk of themselves🧍, is about the playing with the line. Dancing to the edge of the unknown, reality’s structure itself. Maybe our ability to harness, manipulate, weave the ideas from that pool of conscious that we can so infrequently access is what got us as far as we are at all, are is vital for our ability to create and continue moving forward. You and I might think of ourselves as fringe at times,but I’m referring to those who reallyy plunge into the deep end, true artists/innovators are often if not always regarded as crazy at once point or another, someone has to push the bounds. Does that mean most the people who talk about how they discovered empathy in their thirties because of a drug deserve any attention or credibility, fuck no…true for me too, idk anyone who become a great person overnight because of ts. However we’re getting anecdotal talking about the people we know, soo I can’t right off the utility as a whole because I’m maybe not the target audience for that substance, haven’t done enough to tell ya. I’m not rushing to either, because I don’t look to “things” to give me answers, and I think that’s what it’s rly about, for the people who wield it correctly it may not even be about the hallucinations. It could be that your perception on how, why and what is possible shifts, making you more susceptible to inspiration. Next day they draw up blueprints for something never seen before n after a lifetime of R&D they patent a flying car, I don’t wanna stop that train before it leaves the station is all you feel me😂😂
