It is quite obvious that the author has absolutely no idea what psychedelics are, what they can do and what they are used for (both recreationally and therapeutically). I am wondering why anyone would think they are in an adequate position to write anything about a topic, even though they neither did proper research whatsoever on the topic nor have their own experiences in the matter. This is equivalent to throwing garbage out into the world.
My favorite part:
> I would rather get execution right, and remain on the same mental track I have been on. I also don’t want my priorities re-ordered, or suddenly to feel that now I have grasped the true nature of the universe, and that x, y, and z are in fact meaningless. Let’s stick with the process, people!
Having this mindset sets you up to a gloriously ignorant life. It is basically programming yourself to lie to yourself until you die and be happy with it. You are scared to find out the truth, because it might hurt in one way or another - or set you free. Nothing truly great ever came out of this - but the exact opposite...
lol like it never ceases to amaze me how differently we are all wired up inside from each other. His perspective feels depressing and counter intuitive to my own yet I don’t doubt that inside of his head for him it feels so clearly right and true.
Their POV is sadly a common one, though to be fair existence can be scary plus psychedelics do have their own pants-shittingly frightening dangers, but what sucks is how this line of thought continues to prohibition and punishment of so called users to try and make sure that no one gets to have any cool psychedelic experiences.

Those who eat cow won't oppose leather, so I don't see why there would be more unused disposed cow skin than prior. But on the question of what else could be done with it, I'm not sure. Are people more often opting for plastic/synthetic products owing to cost? There are lots of aesthetic and apparel applications for leather.
There is a slowly growing awareness in the public that eating meat is unnecessary for good health, perhaps even a negative. The strain on the environment for meat farming and transportation is massive so I am all for having plant-based options which fulfill and satisfy any need for animal products. If mushroom or plant leather turns out to be better, like cheaper or more durable etc., then there will be much less demand for traditional leather and the price for milk and beef will increase and make alternatives all the more attractive.
I’m a vegan and this sort of stuff is a total win.

Do you have any sources for the claim that the songs written, composed and co-produced by Jackson were actually just bought?
Most of the songs I went through from Jackson where he appear to be a writer, as the history of him writing and producing the song. Of course, he got plenty of help. But I don't think it's fair to reduce him as using ghost-writers/producers for his songs, people seem to be properly credited.
Oh I’m not claiming that about MJ. He had written songs, even some of his hits, it is just that you can’t just always look at song credits to see what’s what. MJ had written some of his songs, collaborated, and also had songs written for him at different times. He wasn’t using ghostwriters as far as I know. I could have been more clear on that.
That makes sense, but [1] lists 119 songs were Michael Jackson is the writer or co-writer. So reducing him to a vocalist [2] in this context makes little sense to me.

[2]: I'm not trying to say that being a vocalist is somehow "worse" than being a songwriter, just that removing a skill he clearly had (writing songs) is weird.
When artists buy songs they are given a credit for legal purposes (and I suppose vanity, too)

Too bad he didn't follow his own advice when doing A.I.
Maybe he learned that lesson with AI.

You are attempting to imply that consuming food and consuming Shakespeare are the same which they are not. Consuming fast food likely has a negative physical outcome in most people. Can you prove that consuming Shakespeare has a corresponding positive mental outcome for the majority of people? I suspect not.
The argument is also flawed because favourite is not important. If you asked someone what their favourite food was they may say Chinese takeout. If you asked them what their most important food was, they may say Sunday dinner because it reminds them of their deceased mother. There is a significant difference between the two, one is a personal preference but the other could compromise a bigger part of one’s identity.
Here’s a thought experiment:
Which book is more important? The book that the most influential man in the world considers the most important but which nobody else has read? Or the book dismissed by all elites but that is the most important book to the least influential billion people on the planet?
Shakespeare is taught in high school, my dude. You are a little deluded if you believe Shakespeare to be little read.
I’m quite aware that you can’t eat Hamlet.
