You're pretty sure, but I think you're not seeing the bigger picture.
Most of those bands that have enhanced the lives of everyone (society) over the years? Really high..
Would the world still be around if it weren't for the cultural revolution of the '60s - during the height of the cold war, with slogans like "make love not war" and "Imagine" ? Possibly not.
The Internet ?
Did you know that Doug Engelbart and many other engineers working on the ARPANet were also participating in LSD experiments ? Look it up, it's out there on the Internet.
The Internet could have been another secret military technology, you know... It took some acid heads to imagine the whole world "turned on and tuned in".
So there was Steve Jobs and his team of psychonauts who jumped in to make that vision real.
Check out Google's first ever doodle. Do you notice the Burning Man logo in it ? I guess Larry and Sergey were so inspired by the psychedelic festival that they decided to use it as their startup's logo.
3D animation, Pixar, ILM, Virtual Reality ? Damn hippies.
That's the most interesting part about psychedelics is that the trip never ends.. Once you take it, it changes you forever - you might be sober, but the psychedelic experience goes on - in what you say, what you do, what you sing...
I could go on and on, but again - you can look these things up yourself.
- Retra 11y agoOf course you could go on and on. But you'd be saying the same useless "wake up sheeple" non-answer that has been the rallying cry of useless people since forever. Or maybe just stop picking attractive cherries for yourself and start learning about how actually reliable and consistent data works. I don't have a problem with hippies or drugs. I have a problem with the irrational, baseless worship of hippies and drugs.
- justsaysmthng 11y agoSomething tells me that no amount of "reliable and consistent data" will convince some people, because they already know what they want to know. Despite the fact that these things are illegal, there are many scientific studies published, books written and a myriad of personal accounts and interpretations given within literature, art, music, film, design, etc. Just ask google. But do you want to really know the "truth" ? It's very easy to discover it yourself. No cherry picking. Just go experience it. That's all there is to it.
