Do you personally agree with the overall tenor of the thinking that is coming from public forums like the wef?
Leary did not joke at all. He dropped so much acid that he seriously thought the best way to improve the world is to turn society into a psychedelic hippie cult. That is obviously dangerous and led to a total ban on psychedelics, despite their psychiatric utility.

I'm not interested in joining one, but I'm sure the world would be a better place than it is today if the world had become a psychedelic hippie cult.

So I wouldn't say it's all that dangerous.

Just to be clear, while Leary was an interesting man with some useful ideas, i'm not a fan of his at all (yes, have read his stuff) - to utopian & loud. As you suggest, he was instrumental to the scientific shutdown of psychedelics, i strongly suspect there was intention at play.

Never attribute to intention what you can explain by lack of self-awareness :)
