Possibly…the counterexample is tech CEOs jetting off to Burning Man, tripping balls for a week, and coming up with app ideas for things nobody actually needs.
Musk has used a lot of drugs, including psychedelics.
Currently I’m in the middle of what’s apparently one of his favorite book series…communism, post-scarcity, and frequent gender changing are featured front and center.
The “everybody should take psychedelics” argument maybe carried some weight in the 60s when the “squares” were the ones in the way. (Though I still kinda doubt that because look who so many of those “free love” boomers turned into).
But the Republicans of today are not the same as they were then. They are partying, smoking weed, and doing a whole lot of other drugs including psychedelics. It’s possible to eat drugs, realize some profound things, become incredibly self-actualized, and be so addicted to power that it doesn’t really matter anyways.
Or just be so narcissistic that you just ignore the things you read in a book or think about on your acid trip and just carry on…
I don’t doubt the research into psychedelics, and their power on an individual level to help people work through things in a therapeutic way. I am starting to doubt the idea that “if everyone just tripped one time the world would be a better place”.
Not sure how far you are through the Culture books yet, but: Musk thinks he is Zakalwe or something, but he’s really Veppers.
I haven’t gotten that far yet, currently on Inversions. I think Veppers comes later.
Ah okay, and don’t worry that’s not a spoiler or anything
What’s the book series? I’m very curious because it seems like Phony Stark just gets an assistant to give him cliff notes on a lot of sci-fi given how many bad ideas he pitches.
The Culture. Part of me seriously doubts he’s actually read it himself, like you’re saying.
