Good post thanks.
Wanted to ask that cultural exploitation is the saddest. I hear others talk about how much fun their peyote trip or how their ayahuasca hallucination helps them be more productive at work and think of how these holy rituals have become commodified entertainment.
When capitalism has finally stripped all deeper meaning from every culture and society and turned it into a commodity do you think that on the fringes new meanings will come into existence? People remembering what it was like to believe in something via some new amalgam of symbols read into McDonald's monopoly scratchcards?
I personally believe it is part of the trend from the piscean age of reverence upon external deities to the aquarian age of the reverence of self & the ritual of consumption

Showing this to history class you're teaching about the Monroe Doctrine must be just too perfect.
