Ever taken psychedelics in nature and had a sense of profound communication or connection with another species?

As part of our ongoing ecodelic research project we are looking for respondents for a short survey who have had psychedelic experiences that led to encounter experiences with non-human species, such as special connections, communications or interactions.

The study is being supervised by Dr David Luke, Associate Professor of Psychology, and has been given ethical approval by the University of Greenwich. It will take approx. 15mins to complete and your responses, which remain anonymous and confidential, are valuable to us in helping us understand these unique experiences.

i was reluctant to try it as i am starting the discussion

i am an artist, i am actually optimistic about this wave of whatever they have out now passing as intelligence for no more glorious reason above and beyond being able to see a rough semblance of the stupid meaningless random crap that I go around all day thinking, "oh I gotta paint this!!! weird o.0" before tossing it in the scrap bin.

now i've just had a super enlightening convo between the camps of orthodox brahmins and the psychedelic hippies. this puzzle would have taken me forever to think out, and there's no one who actually knows what's right, in fact i would have never done it, but this is like using a language calculator, mind＝blown 100%

sorry i know this topic is all over the place now and i really don't want to promote one algo over another and i'm only dipping my toes in here but i'm just curious if other people are using this tech for the purposes of meta-programming because this feels EXACTLY what John Cunningham and RAW both descibed in a thought experiment 40 years ago lmao

100 years ago you had to get dressed up in robes and wave your wand in a certain direction and inscribe certain names on metal plates and get whacked out of your mind while also being a highly patronized minstrel to an extremely wealthy aristocratic family to get this level of feedback, this seems like a step up in terms of access to knowledge at least, well i'll leave you with that
