So advice like this:

> 4. Be skeptical, read the literature; understand the risks you are taking.

is bad? Is the idea that we should turn off critical thought and blindly accept pro-LSD arguments, while blindly rejecting the anti-LSD arguments? That seems backwards.

That's right. Pretend the other three points not only didn't exist, but weren't directly contradictory to the point you quoted.

But I'll be down voted to oblivion for calling you a propagandist for doing things that propagandists do. So this is me not calling you one.

You are being downvoted for your ridiculously hostile tone.

Yeah, but you know the drill, I'm inviting the down votes. When I have conclusive data on what I'm working on here, you and Dang will definitely be the first to know.

Either way, thank you for the commentary. There have been times I actually didn't understand the downvotes, and your posts were rather enlightening.

Hang on: dang is an HN mod. I'm not. I'm just someone who comments too often.

Which is why I figured you'd be first to know. :-)
