've caught one of these live, congratulations. You are on it, and I think that should be commended.

Well, there's some new research into LSD, and the research says there's a hypothesis that suggests that psychedelics will unwind the influence one's prior beliefs have on the brain, allowing thoughts to flow more freely, unimpeded by past assumptions. There were two ways to discover this to be true. One way was to do science and research it. The other way is to do a psychedelic, because you know who could have told you the answer to this research question? Everybody who took a psychedelic.

Everybody who took a psychedelic will tell you that their previous assumptions and the frame that they had for reality just gets blown up. And that's the weird thing. The big thing that you take away is that you can view the world completely differently. And here's the important part: you can view the world completely differently and it still works. That's the thing that you'll never forget. Because if you see the world looking differently and it all doesn't work, more like a dream — you know, if you have a dream, things don't sort of make sense. That doesn't work. So that would be a dream, would be a view of the world that's just random and, you know, it's not built to work.

But you could be tripping your balls off and still order an Uber and go to the beach, right? It still works. Reality still works even when it's completely different. And once you realize the subjective nature of reality, then a lot of those things you thought were problems that were going to end you, such as even depression, even neuroticism or anxiety — I think more so. There's lots of evidence to show that psychedelics could just wipe out a whole number of mental problems that are more acquired problems as opposed to organic. I think that would be the difference, but I'm not positive about that.
