Do you think it was psilocybin that gave you those thoughts or do you think the idea of psilocybin gave you good cover to experiment in idealism of youth? Your realism and experience sound more like the practical wisdom a lot of people gain over the 10 years of their 20s.

Yes, I agree it's quite possible to retrospectively mistake the effects of psilocybin for the psychological evolution that happens naturally.
The psilocybin gave me a God complex delusion due to the hallucinations ideas and feelings I had during the trip. unfortunately I didn't shake the fundamental world view I gained after the trip until objective reality tossed me around enough to snap out of it.
This is the correct answer; psychedelics enhance aspects of your personality that were already quite present
