Yeah, that's kind of my point. Alex Gray and Deep Purple aren't exactly Vermeer and Mozart.
If psychedelics are all that profound, rather than just a drug producing chemical simulacrums of profundity, you'd have better examples than these.
- h43z 7y agoAren't they in a way the Mozarts of their time? I'm not sure what you expect and demand of psychedelics. When will be something profound enough for you? For many it was and is.
- scottlocklin 7y ago>Aren't they in a way the Mozarts of their time? Absolutely not. Avro Part and György Ligeti are the Mozarts of their time. And they were very, very far from being Mozart. I expect and demand that drugs which people tout as some amazing breakthrough in human consciousness demonstrate something beyond "I thought it was cool." If something you can buy for $4 in pill form really creates higher states of consciousness, and the words "higher states of consciousness" actually means something, you'd expect there to be 1000 Mozarts by now, rather than ... dipshits saying Iron Butterfly's drum solo is, like, totally cool man.
