Psychedelic scientist sends brains back to childhood

You can experience the world like a little child again. Except you have more knowledge and will probably understand the beauty of the universe in a more meaningful way.

At 21, I did a 6 month sabbatical from college just to experiment with psychedelics.

Here's a few things I did while tripping: - Took a hike - Danced in nature at the sunset - Listened to music (1st time listening Pink Floyd, the TDSOTM is a must!) - Took a swim in my hometown cold river - Experienced the "yin-yang" almost as an emotion-like feeling. Observing on top of my hometown mountains the greenery growing up on top of the charcoal again, after 2 years, when wildfires took 80% out. The moon and sun being present helped. - Walked around and explored a new city with music on (I was with friends, they were sober) - Painted and did drawings (I suck at it, it was incredible just seeing the ink flow out of the pen) - I meditated - I wrote about stuff - I explored the online content people make (r/LSD has a list of links + a lot of people on these communities provide a lot of interesting content) - felt like a Neanderthal eating a very juicy peach for the first time by doing exactly the same - masturbation (as demisexual, I wish I could had met someone who I could have sex with) - I played computer and felt like a god (usually I'm a noob, on that day I was truly overpowered) - I went to the beach - To the raves (I hated it!) - I observed animals - I climbed some trees - I spent time with friends

So... ye. You can literally do anything and you'll have a radically different experience from what you would normally feel. Just seek out information first how to do it carefully. I would also not advise leaving to far from home until you understand the dosages and the impact it has on you.

I refuse to take any despite wanting to.

I have thoughts on how it works, at a not physical realm.

What makes you flip bit to joyous? What chemical or physical or physiological change happens? Does it wear off?

I'm not depressed. I was at one point and found the solution. I have extensive joy. Yet I want to try because I think it does something that isn't the same bit flip you're experiencing.

>Chess, for instance, was one such source of truth. Played a couple long games against evenly matched opponent(rated and everything). Made a complete ass of myself. Played easily 3-400 elo points below my usually level. And all the while thinking I was playing brilliantly and calculating deep lines, I was really just imagining lines that never worked. My working memory was terrible. Time management completely off.

As a supplemental anecdote, I won my first chess tournament at Manhattan Chess club in the early 1990s while dosed on a significant amount of mushrooms. Certainly the perception of time is an issue and I'm certain the results would have been different if the game had been shorter (as most games are these days), but in a 120 + 60 it wasn't an issue.

When it can be sufficiently monetized.

Sounds like the reason why there's a backlash against exposing kids to all of these controversial topics in the "culture wars" in the West.
