Indeed, it would be very surprising if a drug consistently made its users' beliefs more accurate.
- avtar 3y agoThe use of MDMA, ketamine, psilocybin, etc in clinical settings is usually paired with clear and wholesome intention setting, and therapy work. The substance seems to be just one part of a set of processes.
- HKH2 3y agoYeah, psychedelics often do make belief systems more consistent (or they break them completely), and consistency is not accuracy.
