Everything you consider objective reality is filtered through your senses and your subjective perceptions. Psychedelics highlight this by applying novel transformations to our processing of the input stream. It’s a bit like how you perceive the world differently when under the influence of emotions like fear, anger, or love, but more dramatic. They reinforce that reality is first a mental construction: it’s less fixed and more malleable than most of us have ever considered. So when you say that people’s experiences with psychedelics seem disconnected from reality, it might be because you have an incomplete picture of how fluid, complex, and inherently incomprehensible this thing we call “reality” really is.
