RE: 10 Tips from a Psychonaut: How to Have an Awesome, Safe Psychedelic Experience
That was a great read and impressive example of how psychedelics can encourage novel thinking:
The 26 men unleashed a slew of widely embraced innovations shortly after their LSD experiences, including a mathematical theorem for NOR gate circuits, a conceptual model of a photon, a linear electron accelerator beam-steering device, a new design for the vibratory microtome, a technical improvement of the magnetic tape recorder, blueprints for a private residency and an arts-and-crafts shopping plaza, and a space probe experiment designed to measure solar properties.
Hopefully more studies like this will be conducted soon!
To me, the last line, quoting Fadiman, sums up the relationship between the ruling elites and those they rule: the latter's enlightenment "is always a crime" because if they were allowed to enlighten themselves, they would never abide being ruled by others.
