may be unsuitable for certain types of people and maybe not beneficial. And if you had a way of dialing it down a little bit, that could allow certain benefits of psychedelics, which may have little to do with what we typically associate with the psychedelic experience, right?
There's a neuroscientist, pharmacologist named Chuck Nichols, and he did a lot of work on the anti-inflammatory effects of different psychedelic compounds. So he's showing that there could be a therapeutic effect from psychedelics that's completely separate from what we typically conceptualize as the therapeutic effect of psychedelics, right?

Same thing goes for treatment of addiction, treatment of cluster headaches, right? Thinking that the point of a psychedelic experience is to have this religious, transcendent, hyper-visual experience, I think, is somewhat reductive because who's to say what they can or can't do or should or shouldn't do? So I'm... in support of people that are

There's no way to know whether another human being is experiencing anything similar to what you're experiencing. That's a really good point. There's a lot of unknown when it comes to the internal experience of another organism. But...

What we do know, and it sounds incredibly abstract, but it's actually a robust predictor, is that when you give a rodent a 5-HG2A agonist that has GQ bias signaling and even balanced, it seems to cause their heads to twitch. And that head twitch is strongly associated with psychedelic effects in humans. There are exceptions, but for something as abstract as this sort of wet dog shake head twitch,

thing yeah it's pretty good it's better than you would think it's the sort of thing where if you're looking at a scientific paper you could laugh at it and say oh they're saying this mouse switching its head predicts psychedelic activity in humans these silly scientists they're they're so they don't get it at all turns out it's actually pretty damn predictive wow yeah

Under some experimental conditions, yeah.
Under some experimental conditions, yeah.
Under some experimental conditions, yeah.
Yeah. Yes. It's so hard to say because what constitutes performance enhancement could be radically different between people. Sure. And what's the goal? Performance enhancement for a guitarist might be totally different for an air traffic controller.
