No. The experience may be very convincing, and have no scientific basis.

Yes, feeling. "feeling understanding" is an oxymoron. Understanding is
not
knowledge until it is verified.

Positive experience is fun, and likely to be useful personally and in
one's social relations. I don't know if it is teachable.

So does enough alcohol or a sharp blow to the head. Yes, shroomspeak is

Doubtful. Evolution doesn't work that way. We just only understand about

Every way I look at the above I get absurdity or mementic self serving
results,
for example:

        Brains work best with mushrooms
        We don't eat mushrooms
        Our brains hardly work at all....
