- samstave 3y ago>>>BASEL, Switzerland – When Kevin Herbert has a particularly intractable programming problem, or finds himself pondering a big career decision, he deploys a powerful mind expanding tool – LSD-25. "It must be changing something about the internal communication in my brain. Whatever my inner process is that lets me solve problems, it works differently, or maybe different parts of my brain are used, " said Herbert, 42, an early employee of Cisco Systems who says he solved his toughest technical problems while tripping to drum solos by the Grateful Dead – who were among the many artists inspired by LSD. "When I'm on LSD and hearing something that's pure rhythm, it takes me to another world and into anther brain state where I've stopped thinking and started knowing," said Herbert who intervened to ban drug testing of technologists at Cisco Systems. https://web.archive.org/web/20180223065640/https://www.wired.com/2006/01/lsd-the-geeks-wonder-drug/ https://web.archive.org/web/20180223065640/https://www.wired... --- Kevin Herbert - https://maps.org/news-letters/v18n1/v18n1-MAPS_21-23.pdf https://maps.org/news-letters/v18n1/v18n1-MAPS_21-23.pdf
