Not >>10634988 , but chiming in. Look, there are enough differences in the phenotypes to distinguish hundreds of "nordic" people alone.

If we actually explored "Negroid." and "Arab" races, not to mention the mixed breeds, there would be too many to count. Not to mention that there are too many Nordic people that don't even fit or look similar at all.

Primarily in the medical field. I think it is very controversial to say you should let people use (and even provide) medical grade heroin or that LSD should return back into the AA as the final step of the program, or that psychedelics should even perhaps be a rite of passage for healthy adult humans and a "common" nootropic. Only researchers directly working with the subject agree on this, and practical application is almost a disaster in terms of acceptance.

Psychedelics enhance cognition though. It's hard to do double blind trials since they are illegal and unless the dose is very low you know you have taken the drug. Griffiths et al. did some very interesting studies on psilocybin and the results are outrageous (in the sense of asking why it's still illegal in 2019).

Mullis details his experiences synthesizing and testing various psychedelic amphetamines and a difficult trip on DET in his autobiography. In a Q&A interview published in the September 1994 issue of California Monthly, Mullis said, "Back in the 1960s and early '70s I took plenty of LSD. A lot of people were doing that in Berkeley back then. And I found it to be a mind-opening experience. It was certainly much more important than any courses I ever took." During a symposium held for centenarian Albert Hofmann, Hofmann revealed that he was told by Mullis that LSD had "helped him develop the polymerase chain reaction that helps amplify specific DNA sequences".

Your ego can create many elaborate traps, one of them with the help of psychedelics. Indeed that's what happens to some people. The majority that has mystical experience induced by psychedelics put the significance of this experience into 3 most important moments of their life, (on par with the birth of a first child or death in the immediate family, and sometimes even surpassing them). People also score 1 SD in openess, this change lasts even year after the experience. A lot of the data is from cancer patients that were treated with psilocybin, the study was very well done and is available online. It shows that the experience itself is important, not the drug (i. e. surviving a major car crash or other NDE can produce some of the benefits as well).

Humans are significantly altering the climate in a negative way though. Even if we all switch to nuclear only tomorrow, there is still agriculture. The profits are private while the expenses public.
