What does this mean? Are you against psychedelics, but only if its time for lunch?
- revolvingocelot 4y agoI read that as disdain for the repackaging of authentic experiences by relentless and impersonal capitalistic forces. Psychedelic drugs are a paradigmatic example of "mind expansion", a concept that promises and threatens to allow individuals a broader perspective than that of the ego, the cog-in-the-machine, the member of society. Almost by definition, this is countercultural, or at least an expression of something that capitalism can't conquer. But capitalism can sure try, via concepts like micro-dosing or doing entheogens with a therapist or "LSD-trips for your lunch break", which I think is probably a reductio ad absurdum.
