As someone who went through the Psychonaut/DMT Spirit Molecule phase them self, I agree.

The fact is, we don’t have any actual method to measure experiences with psychedelic compounds to explain what they are, and the people over at r/Psychonaut contradict each other just as much as anyone else, so they obviously haven’t settled on any ground truth from all the Tryptamine usage. They’re just as contradictory over there as any other religious group. Some people become Christians after LSD/Shroom use, others become Atheists, others delve into Eastern Woo, other go over to Shamanism, some even become Transhumanists (one of my close friends became a Transhumanist after an LSD trip). It’s all over the map. If psychedelics showed any ground/base reality than people all wouldn’t be arrive to all these contradictory positions.

I think it’s highly possible it could be a dead end, it might just all turn out to be your brain’s serotonin receptors misfiring. We already know Tryptamines criss cross the visual cortex with the rest of the brain, that would explain the hallucinations.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a massive advocate for Psychedelics, but people really need to take a step back before trying to apply drug trips to answering questions to the fundamental nature of reality. Joe Rogan has taken tons of hallucinogens and he’s still an idiot.

I used to think the crazy madness you see on some psychedelics is a closer representation of reality. Shutting down the brains UI and filtering process.

Except that things become more colourful, when in reality colour doesn't exist.
