There is the Qualia Research Institute, one of the things they do is using dope and making simulations of the experience. They basically found 2 main types of drugs:

1. Most “create more separate personalities” in you

2. One (the “toad poison”) actually makes you feel like a giant place, the feeling is usually pleasant.

So there is either “agentification” of you into more “agents” or “space-ification” into one giant place without any agency in it. I think we can make this static place AI and it’ll be safe by definition because we’re the only agents in it.

P.S. I don’t promote drugs
