I've fantasized along these lines. At the risk of sounding like a burned out hippie, I've had a hard time distinguishing what is a truer reality after some trips, specifically after DMT trips, which is not a research chemical. I'm no scientist, and I may be putting this far too simplified terms, but at the end of the day these drugs just modify the chemicals & amount of which in the brain. It opens a lot of questions into consciousness, which in modern times, opens more questions in where and if there will be a tie between the singularity and the states of consciousness created by using these drugs.

On one DMT trip, I felt everything within my vision was an extension of my body, and in the case of a nearby tree, I could feel water flowing through my xylem. My mind creating this feeling with no real sensory connection required me knowing what xylem are, and my understanding is very basic. If I had instantaneous access to all information, and the ability to modify my perception with a code commit for as long as I wanted, what would my existence become? I suppose this is the kind of thing theadvancedapes is working out.

This resonates with me heavily. I've had some experiences that make what I thought to be reality, or the understanding of it seem completely wrong. If the chemicals and connections in our minds are behaving as settings to cause a certain result, then how doesn't that mean reality is what the hardware you have allows it to be? And if that is the case, doesn't that mean every living entity does/has the ability to experience multiple, deeper, wider, [etc.] versions of reality by its hardware being edited? It's troublesome that this line of thought is brushed aside at large. Especially so when the more we seem to discover in this default state; the more amazing the fact is that we're even perceiving anything at all becomes.
