How much of the whole fetishizing over ultimate truth in cults and other forms comes down to nothing more than "I had an experience in this particular way, so it must be the True Way(tm)"?

I think a lot of belief is based on experience. I got into an ontological discussion once with a theoretical physicist.
We spent a few hours working backward and eventually found that my experiences (using psychedelics) provided me with a basis for belief that diverged from his.

It's a half-joke.
I have just never had any kind of earth-shattering experiences. If anything, the only deep, profound thing I discovered is that I am antifragile to weirdness.
E.g. I was pissed off with a friend of mine before we went on a shroom trip together, the result of which was that I spent half my time trolling him mercilessly.

Oh, had that too. I think it's mostly a dose-response thing, actually. Never had any overwhelming amount of any psychedelic. Was always lucid.
