Do you think psychedelics help people think scientifically, or does it hinder it? I was reading that Neil Degrasse Tyson sees no value of drugs such as lsd with making scientific progress, and the list of notable scientists who are also psychonauts is pretty small. My belief is that while certain drugs might aid people creatively, it ultimately delineates ones thought process to the point where it is difficult to perform intellectually. I have used plenty of acid and ketamine and they have not helped me with my studies in any way. I read a little on how john c Lilly experimented with ketamine a lot but I noticed that towards the end his theories got more and more whacky. Here is a link to the reddit thread on Tyson:
