Take hallucinogens in a nice calm atmosphere and you'll generally have a nice, calm experience and maybe even gain a new perspective.
Take them under stress (eg, a war) and you are almost certain to have a terrible trip with disastrous psychological effects.
Not a great plan.
- graderjs 5y agoGood point. BUT, what if we made the "war" like an information war. So soldiers war multi-color rainbow tie-died "conceptual disruption" camo. And brought munchies and flowers, and those head-massager spiders, and shamanic drumming music...in other words, basically the "invading army" did everything in their power to make sure everyone had a f** fantastic trip, because that would make everyone more docile and just be easier. It could really revolutionize warfare. An invasion of overwhelming peace love and fun...Killing your former property rights with seductive kindness...
- drcongo 5y agoQuick question, are you on any hallucinogen right now?
- graderjs 5y agoHahaha. Because my thinking is so sublime? I know right XD. See these comments (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30685171 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30685171): would love to be but no (not knowingly anyway, hah!). Yet see (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30685186 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30685186) maybe I am! Hahaha :) maybe we all are. haha Aside from all that, does beer count? I think it does right. Hops and all that. I'm 1.666 500 ML cans in.
