The way I like to think about it is people are like molecules of oxygen: in their natural state they are "free" and perform random Brownian motion. Society is about restricting the number of freedoms to a few, so all molecules can move either forward or backward, and produce work as a result. Psychedelics let people realise once again how much freedom they naturally have.
