This is almost too sad to dunk on. People running the world have never had a reflective conversation with a professional trained to help process emotions and healthily cope with the human condition. They're in charge of billions of dollars worth of resources and guiding society's investment into the future. Cooooool
I wonder if we knew at least one or two of the same people. That's dreadfully familiar. The personality before and after were both shit, and if anything the new one was more arrogant in a "I'M VERY OPEN MINDED NOW AND HAVE MORE EMPATHY WHICH IS WHY I SEE EVERYONE AS A COMPUTER PROGRAM NOW" way.
It's become more and more popular with the same kind of people who take MDMA or acid to be more efficient. These global north urbanites pay what to them is little money to local people to disrespectfully and without paying any attention to the cultural and spiritual value of the rituals, just take drugs that have a sacred role for indigenous peoples because broooo psychedelics make you like, a much cooler person
These culture consumers should be shot on sight.
