So what is causation, tell us? Because, everything we ever observe in life are correlations.
Causation is a set of 2 correlations in somewhat inverse directions. Or if correlation is a function, causation referes to such a function that would be inversible.

So you would say that clouds cause rain iff rain causes clouds. Big brain.

He's literally a medical professional, and according to himself in the upper percentile of his academic cohort. He has all the intellectual and therapeutic resources to know better. As for the rest of your comment, my comment history proves otherwise, new signup.

I read these things more so on the fragility of human life. One bad trip, one illness, one traumatic event, etc can take away all that one worked very hard for.
fragile but flexible. jostle the human just right, and it can do incredible things. go just a bit farther, not far enough, or to the left, or… and it falls apart.
Maybe adaptable is a better word given fragile and flexible contradict each other.

#25They buried the lead.. "You may not think it will happen to you. But drug-induced mania and drug-induced psychosis are well-documented phenomena. They should not be dismissed or waved off as fear-mongering. This applies to cannabis, cocaine, alcohol, and even antidepressants."

:) you’re welcome. I’m just taking sides in a silly argument, lead is somewhat acceptable as well.

#29Was he on SSRIs when he took a 5ht2a agonist..?
Do SSRIs interact safely with psilocybin?

Apparently SSRIs and SNRIs. Drugs that act on similar brain circuits.
Maybe the pharmaceutical companies should study these interactions more and have the warnings printed there.
