Exactly. That's why you can't say things like "it's just messing with your perception" because you really don't know what "it's just" doing.

I didn't say anything about consciousness existing outside of the physical world. All I said is that "you don't really know". But, whenever I say something like that people tend to project some other argument onto me, like I'm here to defend everything any LSD user ever said.
