Your problem is big asking people at big companies. Most people who do psychedelics wouldn't like to work for a big company. Also in my experience as a contractor inside many companies people who work for a long time at the same big company are unlikely to have tried anything except alcohol.
In terms of the Big 5 personality traits:
High openness -> open to new experiences -> try psychs.
High openness -> need for creative expression -> small company.
Low openness -> closed to new experiences -> don't try psychs.
Low openness -> closed to new experiences -> stay in same big company
You don't need some personality model to get that though. Just to have met enough people.
- saiya-jin 6y agoWorld and people are a bit more complex than that. I am perfectly fine staying at big banking corp, and in the same time tried shrooms maybe 10x, salvia extract few times (quite similar but 10-15 minutes only), weed & hash all around the world. Some of us get fulfillment in their lives from stuff we do outside of work (adrenaline sports, mountains, travelling in my case), and we have work just to sponsor this, and other pursuits in life. Even if its quite creative software dev work. But overall you are maybe right, more career-oriented folks in big companies who have less open mind, like to just follow the rules from above (alcohol ok, other drugs will kill ya all) etc.
- partyboat1586 6y agoYeah it's a model, there will be exceptions because reality is more nuanced. My problem with working for a big company despite it allowing more time for doing stuff outside of work is that I just don't connect with the people there. Because on average more people are low openness I find we don't see things the same way and don't have the same sense of humour.
