Hearing feel-good stories makes me wonder what would happen if a schizotypal (generally summarized as a "less severe schizophrenic") person such as myself could take them and still receive benefits. Maybe it will just be the final tip into a psychotic break.
These stories often make me think that they are merely catered to people with either "acceptable" mental illness (depression, anxiety, etc) or people who have no mental illness. Anyone else may as well not exist in this worldview.
On another note, I find it quite amusing to read the HN stories here of how their experiences went with psychadelics. The descriptions presented seem understandable to me and I feel I've experienced such things in my day-to-day existence. I'm not quite sure how they are profound, nor how they make someone more open-minded, intelligent, etc.
- mkoryak 10y agoIts really hard to write down "how" they are profound. I think the experiences typically transcend language.
- SolaceQuantum 10y agoYes, like I've said, I've been there in my day to day. My question is why they are profound. Maybe it's because others are capable of being distanced from it eventually. It's profound when you(general) don't have to stay "there", can "come back" and relate how open minded and intelligent and elightened one is now.
