> If I was able to choose one person on Earth to do psychedelics and write about it afterwards, Scott Alexander would be my #1 pick by far.

Huh, I just realized that for all the years I've been reading about him (and the adjacent communities) talk about psychedelics, I've been implicitly holding the assumption that Scott had done psychedelics.

Considering the strangeness of the subject matter, I would think whether one has personal experiences in the field would factor quite heavily into interpretation of the writing of others, as well as the level of purely speculative content in opinions on a forum.

I can't find the source right now, but I believe he suggested he tried LSD at least once.
