I know you're joking, but to be clear for others, it doesn't work that way. =)

Best case scenario w.r.t. real-world engineering challenges, drugs enable some lateral thinking and allow you to make connections you might not have otherwise. Very often this best case scenario is not going to be the case though ha ha ha.

Well, I’m not joking. But, I said “I dream” because I agree it absolutely doesn’t happen this way. I don’t think it ever has.

People on DMT have experiences of being given messages, but it always seems to be things about themselves (stop worrying or whatever).

A drug induced discovery that couldn’t possibly be explained by lateral thinking would be an incredible event.
