New research into the role of psychedelics upends our understanding of spirituality — and with it, our vision of the cosmos.

No, mushrooms actually exist
As an “atheist”, the aura of the psychedelic experience is bizarrely spiritual. I think I have some good scientific understanding of it, but it’s still extraordinary. They could be considered a “gift from God”, in a sense. There is something about the experience that inherently produces this feeling, and I think it’s explainable.
I also just find the idea of engaging with religion as a work of fiction quite fun. Spirituality has been entertaining for the same reason I love RPGs. I’m a therian, but believe therianthropy has a science to it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to sense being one. However, the notion I was an animal in a past life, or had a past life at all, seems ridiculous to me. My brain chemistry is just bizarrely attuned to nature in comparison to others.
So indeed, mushrooms do exist, and they could be the closest thing we have to a God. I don’t know if that’s the best explanation, but that’s just my perspective.
from what we know about mushrooms and how weird they are, i would not be surprised.
What’s with the stand notation of years, eg 01970?
It is part of the long now foundation philosophy. They want people to think long term. What will the world look like in 1,000 years?
I do think it is funny that the organization is run by very wealthy people…
