Thanks, I think I overstated this in the OP (added a disclaimer noting this). I still think there’s a thing here but probably not to the degree I was holding.
In particular it felt strange that there wasn’t much engagement with the trauma argument or the moral uncertainty / moral hedging argument (“psychedelics are plausibly promising under both longtermist & short-termist views, so the case for psychedelics is more robust overall.”)
There was also basically no engagement with the studies I pointed to.
All of this felt strange (and still feels strange), though I now think I was too strong in the OP.
