The visuals are like 10% of the experience. The last thing you could describe psychedelics as is underwhelming. It is not possible for you to understand what the experience is like without trying it for yourself.

And I am not advocating for trying them. Im not one of these evangelists. But replication images are a very weak simulacrum of what the experience is actually like.

Exactly.

Shifts in perspective, including ones embedded in beliefs, trauma patterns, habitual mental models.

Thinking, perceiving, remembering out of the box… the box one does not know they are in.

Here on HN we tend to be habituated in perceiving the thinking mind as correct, rational, in our control. What if it’s none of these things?
