A computer screen has clear info you can engage with, but the circuit boards shooting 1s & 0s everywhere have no info we can interact with; it makes no sense to say something like "oh, more 0s came out of this corner of the board, does this correspond to mom emailing me?" 1/

I feel similarly about very deep psychedelic experiences or very young childhood; something is going on, that *does* end up corresponding to something meaningful, but it's occurring at such a different plane of meaning that squinting at it with computer-screen eyes is useless. 2/

So I'm sus about things that try to connect current psychological states to your birth experience, or thinking you could do good communication with someone blazed on psychedelics. Seems full of projection to me, viewing through a lens you aren't aware you have. 3/

If you look at circuit boards and try to figure out if more 0s in one corner corresponded to getting mom's email or not, I'd be like ur looking for information in the wrong place, in the wrong way; you might get a glimmer but you will miss *so much* of the way the system works!

The right amount of MDMA can actually be the sweet spot. There are many therapist using this as a gateway to places the mind has too much trouble going alone from ptsd. I agree there are a lot of flagrant overhypes though.
