Um, any kind of unified goals and having a sort of, uh, culture system that in a value system that people can connect with one another through, it can be beneficial. You know, I think about like my, my grandmothers or things like that and, and how, um, socially beneficial religion was for them in their old age and it provides a community that's really missing from a lot of people's lives.

So there's good things. There's also countless examples of exactly this sort of problem that Travis is describing existing where psychedelics are used as tools of manipulation. I'm actually pretty close friends with a guy that was in a psychedelic cult and it really fucked him up. And it fucked him up in complicated ways.

Like it's not really the story that you typically hear about things like this. And some of it I think is so sensitive to him that he's never even fully told me. So I have to sort of fill in the blanks a little bit. But I think part of it was that he got involved in this group when he was very young. I think he was maybe like 13, something like that.

and he loved psychedelics and they love psychedelics so right off the bat you have this thing everyone is enjoying this thing that is transformative and transcendent and amazing and interesting so that part is good that part is connection but then the leader of the group is also espousing other values that at least superficially seem good because the psychedelic stuff is good so he's saying oh you know it's bad to eat meat or whatever okay fair enough

Bad to eat meat. Okay. Psychedelics are good. Eating meat is bad. It's bad to be violent. Okay. Also, fair enough. Nothing wrong with not being violent. That's good. And on top of that, you have to believe in God and the Christian Bible. All right. Okay, maybe. And also being gay is bad because it's not what the Lord wants.

So then, you know, you start to see how this kind of like, and I suspect that this person was gay. And I think that the... the homophobic orientation of this particular group, um, may have broken him out, may have really had a detrimental effect on, on him. Um, psychologically, because I mean, and the same thing can happen without psychedelics, right?

That can happen to people just with normal Christianity. Yeah. But I think that this exacerbated it and there, there was even more to it. I don't know that I, how much detail I should go into, but there was, there was more to it that, um, that taught me a lot of the complexities associated with these things. And this is just part of the difficulty of religion.
