https://www.reuters.com/business/thiel-backed-psychedelics-firm-atai-valued-319-bln-nasdaq-debut-2021-06-18/ Maybe I'm letting my imagination run wild, but don't psychedelics induce a state of suggestibility? Oh yeah... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25242255/

Great tool for psychotherapy. Or indoctrination? Again, probably just my imagination running amok, but I'm envisioning a "dark enlightenment" with a monarchy controlled by an anarcho capitalist elite, serviced by masses of worker plebes mind-fucked into liking their serfdom, maybe even believing they are enjoying true freedom. Wasn't Brave New World supposed to be a cautionary tale, not a plan.
