The context of the thread is that somehow there is something romantically magical about mushrooms especially for humans. Me (and bunch of other people in the thread) throwing bunch of other compounds at it is to disprove that there is anything necessarily magical or secretly meaningful about them. It is mostly incidental or phenomena not specific to humans, therefore there is not much mysteriousness about it.
- galaxyLogic 5y agoNot magical not romantic but yes mysterious. Or at least interesting. The question is why do psychedelic drugs hit our brains in the peculiar way they do, which also has a therapeutic effect. First why do they cause the experience that they do, and secondly why is that experience therapeutic? I think these are interesting questions without clear answers as of yet. It has been speculated that mushrooms caused religion. Religion is spread all over the world so there must be something "fit" about it. It is as if mushrooms and human societies are in some kind of symbiotic relationship.
