I periodically use psilocybin in therapeutic contexts, and a recurring experience is grasping how petty, unkind, and generally unhealthy a lot of ~the discourse~ is, along with a fresh desire to not participate in it - almost like finding freedom or permission to step away. So the premise of this episode makes total sense to me. It’s worth commenting that it’s also easy to revert back to old habits and attitudes over time, especially if you’re not doing things to integrate insights into your regular life. Having a profound experience is easy, integrating it is the real challenge. It’s a shame when anyone comes full circle then looks back at a moment of positive change as an aberration, so I hope that doesn’t happen here, though the ending doesn’t leave me especially optimistic…
