Looking forward to speaking with @joerogan on his podcast tomorrow. What topics should we cover? (Go ahead, get us into trouble.)
Does DMT give any valid insights (e.g. helping to 'see behind The Simulation', in some sense), or is it just another meaningless kind of hallucination?

Joe expressed his wish to moderate A talk between yourself and JP, wonder that's something still feasible down the road.
-
I'd be happy to do that.

How would you quantify this? Not being glib. Could you give an example of an "invalid" hallucinatory insight.
-
A valid hallucinatory insight would be one you write down, and test empirically, and it proves correct and replicable. Many examples of that across the sciences -- basically creative imagination is being supercharged. Invalid would be, it doesn't withstand any empirical test.

DMT, from what I've read, seems to inspire an especially compelling sense of 'seeing behind the veil' in many people.

LSD gave me insight into to subjective experience of meaning. Pattern recognition and pareidolia gets kicked into overdrive. Everything becomes meaningful, significant. In that hallucinatory state the brain cannot help but create its own meaning.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

It seems meaningful to note that a meaningless hallucination could masquerade as one of the most meaningful experiences in someone's life.

Yes! You nailed it.
