Why?

  I've got a theory that people who hack about with silicon based information processors are curious to muck about with the biological ones too.

  The communities I explored them with's values are completely antithetical to SV culture. It's hard for me to reconcile the two to say the least. Plus they just seem overly idealized. They're just drugs, but I feel like a lot of folks see them as a possible step to becoming Thompson, Richie, Jobs or Gates.

    Those a valid complaints. And I agree that they're overhyped. But I do think that psychedelic drug experimentation match up with SV values. We're pro-risk and we're fine with breaking barriers. Psychedelic experiences can be good, but I think it's just a good signal on someone's willingness to explore, curiosity and bravery if they're willing to try it. You might consider doing psychedelics with other engineers. It's good times.
