Last post by kruddler -As an aside, K, did you know -- probably do-- that most of the great discoveries and inventions of human existence were made by bipolar, high functioning autistic/aspergers, depressive folks... and so on? Neurodivergent if you like. Then, of course, you have many great artists (music, painting, sculpture etc.) who created some of their best works whilst on psychedelics! Seems neuro-normals are just destined to be consumers![]()
I had a bit of a 'eureka' moment a decade or 2 ago when these diagnoses were becoming more common place.
I was talking to someone about it and i said that to me, it appears to be a potential next step in the evolution of humans, rather than something that needs to be 'cured'. As you say, plenty of extraordinary things have come out of it, and continue to.
I'm not sure if its ever been suggested scientifically - it might be well established - who knows.
My wife has gone back to school to study Psychology as she has an interest in it, specifically from her own, and our sons diagnosis in the last 5 years or so. Plenty of friends are in a similar boat. Wife keeps trying to diagnose me as well
As for LCD etc, there is a big push for bringing a lot of that back as it has been well proven to 'fix' people in ways nothing has come close to since. Its a hard sell to the public/law makers and would be harder to regulate properly.
