Yes, I can agree that 'something interesting' is going on, and that controlled investigation would be a worthy thing.

I also strongly agree that art and science aren't so different, -at least the best of both. As for myself, I was intent on art school before I switched to physics. The best scientists I know are creative outside of their research.

I'm keenly interested in breaking boundaries, and original perspectives, and I found that LSD did give me some of both. However, I've long been wary of the culture of 'drop out and tune in' that seems attached to psychedelics, particularly the 'drop out' part. Creating the computer mouse is not dropping out.

IMHO squares can be some of the trippiest people around, and full engagement with them can reveal as much as any shaman.

As a result, I am wary of polluting something like LSD with unnecessary baggage, especially the kind that skeptics would use to dismiss it. But, reading your response, I am left with the impression that we aren't too far apart in our thinking.

Thanks for taking the time.
