> Before using psychedelics, it's important to anchor ourselves by questioning the difference between knowing something and feeling like we know something.

The inverse seems more prudent to me, since mostly all global decisions get made when not on psychedelics, and we arguably have a severe lack of truly novel, out of the box ideas...who knows, maybe something useful for addressing climate change, polarization, etc could result!

Or at least, run some trial studies comparing results under the three modes. I don't think I've ever heard of a study like this being done before.

Idea generation from psychedelics is okay, but we should avoid thinking we've received a divine revelation of unquestionable truth because it felt true.

This should also apply to the same during normal consciousness, but for some reason that state is privileged, beyond absolute questioning or suspicion. It's quite a neat trick.
