Read that article Pandora, method wasn’t first tested till 1918.
I suspect had he known if it, he would of tried it though.
And that article was shit FC. It doesn’t make the mind more complete, but overrides natural functions, mixing the processes. Someone having a involuntary trip years after last taking LSD seeing soap in the shower floating before them isn’t in possession of a more advanced Ming, but of a visual apraxia. Motor functions are going to be off in coordinating in such a state.
Our mental mechanisms didn’t evolve for LSD or window licking, they evolved within a framework of specific modes of mind that allow us to complete specific tasks.
When you start fucking with the divides between the various modes, which each use their own neurotransmitter signatures, your ability to process complex information between points A to the intended destination via that chart is thrown off. For starters, a trip fuvks the whole process up… and instead of focusing on completing a natural task, your focused on the trip itself.
Our ability to know where we begin and end, our individuality and relationship to our environment and others are equally crucial.
It may be of use someday in specific injections to a particular segment of a cranial nerve to treat a disorder, but as it us now, it is rotten, makes people less functional and less aware.
It goes back to the Proslogion of St. Anslem… He is developing a ontological definition of God between universal monism and specificity. On one had, God is literally anything and everything in Non-Duality, Indian advaita agreads with this… but on the other he is asserting specificalities of imagined states of the Godhead. His formulations for God are like Magnus Andersons’ for Nietzsche’s overman… The highest form that can be imagined.
Problem is, specificalities buck the oceanic feeling of LSD… LSD doesn’t result in a gull monism, but does break down how the Pythagorean table of opposites is navigated and ascertained, it is how we visualize and know something visually (the haptic aspect causes a paradox, you may know in one but not the other in coordination, meaning when you complete a challenging task you may express disbelief)

How we construct dream images, or merely imagine, is deeply dependent upon this, in a succession (not that order though), to create imagery in a hypnogogic state. When you see a image in your head, your constructing it using aspects integrating those variables… They are variables for a fucking reason, as it is task specific. All our technology, all our senses, are set up to react within certain norms. You fuck with the norms without adapting the other hardware, you put that individual in a potentially less successful situation for successfully completing tasks, and for survival… Not to mention it complicates diagnosis later on in life. A simple sodium imbalance can cause issues parallel to dementia, but you add this to the mix, it can really throw a doctor off in diagnosis, especially when he can’t question the patient about their medical history as they can’t recall shit and turn more childlike. Latent symptoms can really fuck up etiological efforts.
