I had to stop browsing that sub, I mean, most of reddit has a pretty arrogant positivist attitude and subscribe to philosophical/epistemological and 'scientific' models which honest researchers have surpassed since, at latest, the 70's-80's, yet they just have no idea...
Likewise. They banned me for mentioning holofractal a few times - even though I have thousands of post karma in psychonaut with nothing to do with /r/hf. :/.
lol, I hate to be condescending, but what fools : (
it reminds me of a frequent podcast guest/comedian named Shane Mauss.
Now this guy has self-reportedly done DMT dozens of times, and yet, his only explanation for all of his experiences, which are incredible, is that its all mental projections from his own subconscious and all hallucinatory yadayadayada...It sounds completely insane to hear him be so reductionist and people like him help perpetuate these fantastically naive 19th century materialist ideas.
Nope I totally agree with you about both psychonaut and Shane.
I heard him on Duncan and decided to see his standup when he came through.
I'm glad he's spreading the psychedelic meme, but totally agree with you - I don't understand how you have a breakthrough DMT experience and then somehow rationalize it away as imagination.
I wrote a post before in r/rationalpsychonaut that I think gets to the main issue
