https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/apr/11/lsd-impact-brain-revealed-groundbreaking-images We've got this great tool for self knowledge, yet even this very community is afraid to discuss it because of some irrational fear of "drugs". Meanwhile you take things far more dangerous than LSD like caffeine, nicotine, processed sugars, etc. The lethal dose of LSD would cost millions of dollars, yet it's somehow the most feared by the DEA. Speaking of dosages, according to what I have read, the 75mcg they used in this study is considered below the threshold to even be felt. Some users reportedly take 10-100 times that much. So really, the research has just begun. I feel like it is very dismissive to just say that people who use "drugs" had bad childhoods, when in reality the "drugs" can have a very positive effect and they may have came to them for reasons of self expansion, not self abuse as has been asserted countless times on the show. Why should we limit ourselves to this single animistic brain pattern when there are potentially millions of different "modes" possible with the right chemicals? Why are you too scared to discuss it when it could be the key to unlocking peoples traumatized minds? As someone who has been vilified on this forum for even speaking to the subject, this study vindicates my conscience. If there was a single drug that could cure statism, would it not be the most highly regulated substance in a state? Well, LSD by weight and penalty is by far the most regulated substance, even ahead of nuclear material.. Why do they want to keep people away from it so bad?

If you're like me you've probably heard of Freud's structural model of the mind, or at least the terms which describe it. The id, ego, and superego are important concepts in the lexicon of psychologists and intellectuals. But what exactly do they mean? In this three part series I give a series of metaphors to help explain what Freud was talking about with respect to the deepest parts of our mind.
