Can Psychoactive Substances Change Morality?
I think there's an important distinction between what these substances are doing to the brain in real time versus the type of knowledge you can gain from them. Many people who have this kind of experience report that it is epistemically transformative. And so, those effects are lasting well after the acute effects of the substance have worn off. I'm certainly very willing to believe that even after, you know, the neurological effects of the drugs have worn off, you report a different sense of self or whatever. But I want to question the self reportedness of that. Is there evidence that people actually act differently long after they've done this? Maybe I'm just being overly cynical here.
