I've heard a friend once tried LSD, and could visualize a whole router in his head with 16 channels of network ports running traffic parallel, bits of streaming data coming in and out, seeing how the whole router operated realtime, all the parts pulsating and flowing data through, so that he could focus completely on the big picture and still see all the details intricately while it was operating, purely in his minds imagination. Many modern technological inventions are build upon psychedelic visions, maybe even the whole concept of computers. Heck, even our language could be built upon psychedelic visions if we believe some of the theories out there. It has a deep rooted connection with human development, not just some industry alone. It happens more than we can imagine, and more than we can speak about, as it is considered illegal and tabu in a way in most of the places sadly. Shamans have used these tools for the whole existence of human life probably, to heal and to connect to the bigger picture of life. Why wouldn't modern engineers do the same thing ? These can be great tools in problem solving and thinking outside the box, and especially in healing people who are building the new society.. if used in the correct environment, in the correct setting, with the correct people. And in modern day, those in power have made them illegal, so we wouldn't see a way out of our modern prisons of materialism and 8 hour day work culture, but luckily for us, they have already lost their battle, and all they can do is try to struggle with their last powers ..
