described them as non-specific or non-specific amplifiers of the unconscious but they also seem to me to be non-specific amplifiers of everything which is in your mind unconscious conscious pre-conscious like it couldn't act on anything else right yeah no that makes perfect that does make sense Oh, you're asking about the super placebo idea?

Yeah. Well, back when the interest in psychedelics was really cresting, you could see an article, a scientific paper, once a week on the benefits of taking psychedelics. They make you more compassionate, more open, more progressive, more environmentally attuned. And it helped depression, helped alcohol abuse, helped end-of-life despair.

So they were basically doing everything to everyone for every condition, which made me think about a panacea, which is a cure-all. Yeah. And panaceas work through placebo or at least are kind of related to the placebo response. So if you're amplifying the placebo response, you're kind of directing the outcome in the direction that you already want it to be. Yeah.

It's a unifying theory of how psychedelics work. They are drugs. They work on receptors and they work on functional connectivity and brain network. But subjectively or objectively, even within your body, they seem to activate innate mechanisms.

but um have you ever heard stories of people all of a sudden not being able to get high on dmt oh yeah i've i heard from somebody not long ago who described that he smoked dmt in the past you know full-on experiences yeah and then just stopped responding yeah that's that's very weird i i i well it's a mutation in their serotonin receptor i think but uh

Well, I think you need to know what's going on when you're interacting with the being.
