Thanks for doing this to you three! Two questions:
Do you see any social dangers from psychedelic use and the associated insights becoming more widespread? I am thinking of for example new forms of religious sectarianism through psychedelic induced spiritual insights, less caring about one’s own and other people’s suffering through a complete transcendence of the self and the identification with conscious states, etc.
Yes, I see a potential danger, and I’ve described it in at least of couple of previous posts here. But I think with the right framing we can minimize such harms and maximize benefits. And yes, I absolutely see therapeutic potential in DMT. DMT will surely be developed into an approved medicine in my opinion, although we need to follow the data of course.
