I think Danny's saying that psychadelics make you feel loved and
understood.
[Hagbard's eyebrow raises]
This suggests to me that the people who would be most attracted to
psychedelics would be those who are, in reality (whatever that may be),
uncared for and misunderstood. I really don't see how even a truckload
of fungi can help these people. For hours at a time they tread water in
a sea of love and understanding, and never have to bother understanding
what it is that makes them outcasts. Not exactly personal evolution --
and if widespread use becomes common -- not exactly an impetus for
societal evolution.
