Yeah, do you think then, what makes you think that on the one case, let's say, someone takes a drug and they... think that there is a fundamental conscious unifying mind behind the cosmos, right? That's person A. Person B has it and they see like the Easter Bunny or something running down the road.

What makes, given that they have the same cause, person A's religious experience, caused by psychedelics in this case, more reasonable than person B's?

It seems that people have those experiences perhaps without those obvious triggers as well, though, right, in the literature. I do work with the Center for Inner Experience at Durham University. Some cool work from Jules Evans on this. It looks at people who have had like long-term negative effects because of taking psychedelics. He takes like 700 people because they're pretty underreported.

The data doesn't reflect them very well. Do you remember what they took? No, not off the top of my head. They say that a third of people who have long-term effects from the psychedelics, maybe you can pull this up, Jamie, Jules Evans, the guy's name, a third of people have negative effects lasting longer than a year.

And one sixth have it for longer than three years. And what were these effects? Like feeling the sunlight on them and shaking with terror, seeing things that aren't there, extreme forms of anxiety. What do they give these people, acid? Well, perhaps, I'm not sure. This is the thing I think I'm concerned with. Same kind of stuff when we're talking about free speech.

Who the fuck's not in favor of free speech? Everyone wants free speech, but people want to draw the line in different places. So we need a nuanced discussion about where that line is. Similarly with psychedelics, what we see are writers, philosophers, documentary makers, just give this blanket statement about them being good. but don't recognize or talk about some of the negatives.
