    I don’t really think psychedelics should be recommended to everyone, but I also think that particular concern is paranoid and ignorant and maybe a little bit misandrist in a way you don’t need controlled studies to recognize. You want drugs that could make someone into an out of control rage zombie if they don’t have a chaperone, that’s entirely the wrong ones.

      We agree.

      Instead of focusing your thoughts on the best of us, or even the middle of us, think of the worst of us. Then imagine advocating to give that small number of men powerful psychoactive drugs without any monitoring or mediation. Thats an outcome of the advice of OP’s image.
