I love that you "politely hinted" that they should stop doing freaking LSD at work

  Seriously. I'm dumbfounded that we had to regress all the way to this point in order to discover why the social norm existed in the first place. From the outside, the West Coast (I'm assuming... with great confidence) seems like a delusional bubble at (many) times.

    > Seriously. I'm dumbfounded that we had to regress all the way to this point in order to discover why the social norm existed in the first place. Is that a bad thing? It's good to question social norms...as long as you're open to coming around to the idea that they might be well founded.

      Yes it definitely is ... to a point.

        Sure, we shouldn't "give murder a try" to see if our biases against it are unfounded. But LSD seems like fair game.

          The social norm in question is "LSD at work", not "LSD in general".

    It's hardly a social norm. LSD was discovered in our lifetimes, and hasn't yet reached its peak popularity, I don't think, due to legal status quashing its growth. Its omission from the workplace is hardly a well-established norm because its presence—basically, anywhere—is hardly a well-established norm. The workplace, meanwhile, is far, far from finished in development. I expect it'll be unrecognizable by the end of the century, and who knows what molecules might join caffeine?
