Do you have a pretty diverse range of experiences on psychedelics backing this up?

'back up' is a bit hard because of the anecdotal nature, but for me this is just the most logical explanation and as said: I have yet to see even the slightest piece of scientific evidence pointing to something else. Whereas there's enough of science supporting the way I think. I remain skeptical of course, though it's more of a 'I want to belive' type of thing.

"The most 'logical' explanation" is very often a function of psychedelic usage (and various other experiences one may have had, or not).

In actual science, an abscence of evidence is not proof of abscence though.

For both sides!
