Psychedelics are often associated with disconnecting from reality, but a recent neuroimaging study found that psilocybin can actually make our brain activity more attuned to the world around us.

Ok great. Let me have some without being a criminal please

No. That's dangerous, you know. You might realise how much bullshit you're being fed to keep you distracted. When the simple reality is, that we're all a bunch of hairless apes, hurtling through space on a rock, with barely a cursory understanding how things work, while arguing over which part of the rock is better, whose imaginary friend is cooler or who has the better skin color, instead of cooperating to make everyone's lives better.

I just turn off the backup setting for my brain. It's cheaper. Unfortunately, it's now stuck in the off position.

Wait, why am I here?
