Yeah, I don’t think we understand this very well yet but it’s an interesting thought :)
The rescaling hypothesis and the “no effect from psilocybin-assisted therapy” hypothesis both would explain the “no change in PANAS” result. It seems you’re favoring the “no effect” hypothesis.
The rescaling hypothesis seems more concordant with other results from Griffiths et al. 2006:
Participants reported an increase in subjective well-being
Community observers noted an improvement in participant attitudes
Something like the rescaling hypothesis also fits better with my experience, fwiw.
