We are hallucinating all the time, psychedelics just make it obvious

This paper goes into what might be happening in more detail but who knows

Most of it has to do with how different parts of the brain process visual stimuli.

Here is a paper explaining the typical patterns you see:

we are like 100 years away from giving a satisfying answer to that question

Have you ever heard of hallucinogen persisting perception disorder? Don't do psychedelics unless you enjoy playing Russian roulette.

i know it fucking tickles me for some reason

It's like: only a schizo would claim someone is sticking their head in the sand for not being highly interested in some mundane thing that you can straight up google the explanation for.

>>11668327
That's a meme, a person would have to be shizophrenic way before taking the psychedelic

Do you want to hear that you see interdimensional aliens when you're on DMT or something? Retard.

Literally every ancient megalithic society did some kind of drugs.

>>11669374
>implying we should follow the lead of ancient nigger societies that fell apart probably because they were too fucked up to maintain civilization

You don't realize how much math goes into what they've built.

>>11669174
are you telling me that you've never touched alcohol?

>>11669174
I'm smarter than you (I go to Caltech) and I do drugs.

Next.

i don't realize much of nothin, i'm a god damn fucking retard. i'd love to be educated but it's hard to come across simple blunt information i can soak up. most information is convoluted incoherent unreliable or just simply wrapped up in some narcissistic cock sucker's self indulgent self-obsessed over-abundance of unnecessary details

Ancients didnt do that much math compared to today

They cause regular interruption. Imagine the timing signal for a CRT is fucked up, but then that the fuck timing signal is recycled, so the fuckups build up and get worse until they reach some point of stability. With lower doses, this stability point is quickly reached, the interrupt is mostly accounted for. At higher doses the brains attempt to fix itself plays into the errors and only further fucks its world model. A "breakthrough" is reaching this point, at which whole new stable states exist only beyond this state. Its hard to say much about beyond that since I havent experienced it, and even those who have have trouble describing (the pre breakthrough stuff is already indescribable enough).

Not a meme, I got it from taking SSRIs.

>>11669732
>SSRIs
well no shit

that shit fucks up your brain like heroin

>>11670312
Yeah, too bad the fucking doctors won't tell you about that when they're prescribing you pills.
