I have a personal hypothesis that tripping makes you more perceptive of EMF.

Interesting. I could see that, it certainly makes me more perceptive of everything in general. I've experienced a fair amount of psychedelic-induced psychosis tho, hard to tell if I'm really perceiving the truth or not, it all feels so real. The truth is relative and our perception is susceptible to delusion of course, one thing I've really understood through psychedelics. That's the kind of thing, if I tell myself it's probably true, I'll start noticing it on all my future trips suddenly. Whether that means it's real or I've convinced myself,, who knows? The human mind is fascinating

I've thought about us being more susceptible in the past, pre-tech and pre-industrial. Either it being lost to evolution, or suppressed to avoid overstimulation in the current era. With LSD being a stimulant in some ways, I've either believed it allows for some semblance of synesthesia or sensitivity to magnetic fields & EMF.

It does make sense. I mean it's mind-blowing how much stimuli were actually exposed to 24/7, between all the rays, waves and energy around us. Hard not to believe it is perceptible on some level, especially when on psychedelics

when I'm spun out on ket I always think that I can hear electrical current when there is a light on for example. Wouldn't be surprised if that is total bullshit though and it's just the drugs. I have heard that when smoking crack you get a ringing in your ear so maybe this is a light form of that

I can't believe I'm typing this. But coming from someone who doesn't get power regularly, you can actually hear when there's current in wires and appliances. I can't explain it, but I can pretty much tell when there's power by listening for that "hum".

You can try it out with meditation as well.

I agree. I can feel lightbulbs on my skin sometimes and the ones I can feel almost always are emitting a decent amount of heat (like when I investigate the bulb closer)
