A really good read. Fascinating stuff. A key bit was: "Almost no one changes their mind because of one day' argument. Instead, we slowly start to see ideas we once would have rejected out of hand as "reasonable" only aft

There was some research done on psychedelic hallucinations which revealed that there is actually less sensory input and that so filters are not disabled - they just have less work as there is less input. With less input the brain hallucinat
