Expanding Human Capabilities: Psychedelics vs. Technology
The effect of psychedelics is seen in the integration where they act as a catalyst for thinking, similar to how Google Maps provides directions but doesn't drive the car. There's a view from neuroscience exploring how neurons in the brain give rise to human thoughts. The concept of brain-computer interfaces aims to enhance human capabilities, as seen in endeavors like Elon Musk's Neuralink. The discussion raises the question of whether technology or psychedelics can truly expand the complexities of the human mind, a topic that bridges the realms of AI advancements and ancient practices of ecstasy and consciousness.
