,Just from personal experience, I've met white (and one time a black) identity extremists, a trans-exclusionary radical feminist, and more neo-nazis than I can count who were radicalized by MDMA or psychedelic induced experiences. Most people seem to benefit from them, but some people are permanently ruined by their experiences due to a bad set/setting. Induction of neuroplasticity needs to be shaped, and no substance inherently channels love and light it seems. Some of the neo-nazis weren't even necessarily white supremacists, they just came to believe that absolute power in one person was key, and that Jewish people were behind all evils. The black extremist began referring to me as a "yakubian". The TERFs began to think that it was inherent to men that they oppress, rape, and kill women as a part of their neurological makeup that they simply cannot change, trans women included. These are powerful tools but they require direction, the same way that a car is a powerful tool but without using the steering wheel you're inevitably going to cause some damage, and possibly kill others in the process.
In the past I was much more likely to deescalate situations, but when a homeless man walking towards me threatened me, I chased him with my knife open with full intentions of ending his life, while on 750ug of LSD. Another time on mushrooms somebody was trying to break into my house, I left out of the back door and ran up on him intending to knife him down just the same. I likely would not have done these things sober. DOx, amphetamine, methamphetamine, and 25X-NBXX compounds seem to be the worst offenders with this, at least in my experience, though anything can flip that primal self-defense switch. If I were to be brainwashed into thinking something radical like "all of [insert any demographic of human] is a threat against me", I could see how people become radicalized by these things.
psychedelics and dissociatives are tools that bring forth the dream/hypnotic state where the brain's ruminations and spirit world input become more prominent relative to the real world input, eroding perception with hallucination and inspiration. A tripper, a duster (pcp) they are entering the Aboriginal dreamtime thar Alcohol and Ether more so, too shepherd us towards.
you can either use that influence to strengthen the Reality Dream we are in, refine it, or undermine it.
they tear you down and rebuild a stronger whole, time and time again.
If you don't challenge your underlying erroneous assumptions you are at risk to magnify them.
Suppose a scientifically inclined racist and a racistly inclined scientist both gobble a mushroom, either psychedelic shrooms. through Serotonin, or a dissociative GABA/Glutamate type Muscimol fly agaric.
Dreamtime erodes their waking consciousness, when Jamal walks in, finds his pack of smokes and leaves the less pleasant company.
The scientifically inclined racist says: "Jamal statistically has a lower IQ than us Norwegians, and to me he more resembles a monkey than your do, so i pose he is less evolved."
The racistly inclined scientist however rebuts: "excuse me, but in the past hundred thousand years, our common ancestor had three sons: Jamal, you, Lars, and me, Extra Lars. our ancestors adapted successfully to the land of snow and ice, while Jamal adapted more strongly to the tropics than we did to the cold, and here is why: Jamal had more generations between our common ancestor and him, than we do to that common ancestor. Larses focussed more on cold cognition, Jamals more on hot emotion. Melanin is produced from Dopamine breakdown products, we don't need that extra UV protection so our dopamine declined a bit, Jamal doubled it up and refined the metabolism into melanin. Jamal has had more generations than us so he is more evolved. his flatter feet prove that, more adapted to bipedal motion, because more generations passed between him and our shared ancestor than we did., He is more evolved geneticaly, darwinistically, than we are, in his specialisation, the tropics. He walks in looking for his cigs and you, the less scientific racist Lars, abuse science to laugh at him because of his tropics adapted looks and lower IQ average, While you don't know he's a Jamal or a Jamore. Me, As Extra lars, more intellectually refined than you, see in his tropical beauty and flatter feet a being higher evolved into a wider range of traits than our more focussed adaptation spurt. Airdrop three platoons of us in Vietnam, 3x 4 squads with M16 an M80. Against a uniform Vietcong, the all-Jamals platoon outperforms the all Larses team by stronger instinct, stronger impulsuivity, less detached rationalisation, a wider survival range. But you know what? A half Larses, half Jamals platoon would outperform them all if they worked together attuned to each others specialisations, like how racially mixed soccer teams tend to win. The real monkey here, Lars, is you, generalizing Jamal as inferior, making him and me uncomfortable in my house, while we hotly debate on tropical cubensis about him, he's in the other room dissociatiung on Nordic Fly Agaric, asking it - why you are so cold. His cigarettes, I want him to quit, you kinda like him to choke on it. Jamal volunteered to together repaint my shed, you, prefer trips and giggles with me alone. This is why you sleep on the couch and he in my kingsize guestroom bed. Lars: Jamal would be happier than shit if you decided to split: both of you, each your side, napping on the guestroom bed. He respects you're not gay but just, you'd do it with me without a second thought. The destroying angel is the racism in your head, shall we examine that? Our dear Jamal is a Jamore hoping you'll come around or- he wouldnt be around nextdoor. Jamal and I trip entheogenically, shrooms like LSD and fly agarics like propofol and pcp. We trip for cure, you trip recreationally, for shits n giggles, and want more and more. Withn us three tripping as genuine heartfelt friends, we all could learn more from our combined expertise and experience, and be not two B teams but one A team, especually if we also invite, next time or so, Huy, my Vietnamese friend. What do you say. Lars? Jamal and I are actively giving you time to expand your racial horizons.. isn't that what tripping is for? Fraternizing and unifying more? We can join him right next door. I feel him, he feels me, are you free to.. let him in, for real as a brother in our brotherhood? Trip, with him, share the mattress with him, let! him! in! Are you feeling this? He prays for you, atheist. Think about this while I take a shit. excuse me, put that in your pipe and smoke it."
