And how is it that I see something imaginary? So, I draw a picture of what I see. I show it to someone else who took DMT and they say.. Yep. looks just like that.
So now we both agree with what an imaginary thing looks like eh? How the fuck is that.
You have a brain, and your friend has a brain, and you both took the same drug, and are surprised when the brain produces similar visual hallucinations? You both have the same type of eyes too - that use the same cells to see. And both of your brains visual centers are located in the same areas, and process things very similarly. There are enough similarities in the body, to predict some similarities in the experience.
I've eaten 15-20g of mushrooms before and thought I was in an oil painting. It looked like I was in a painting, and I've heard other people say they've had similar experiences; does that mean the world is really a giant oil painting? No! It's just a fucking drug FFS.
A unicorn is imaginary. A fractal is real. It has a mathematical basis, in this case it is a member of the Julia Set. If it's so fucking imaginary why does it conform to a mathematical equation?
Democracy... Does it exist? Show me. Draw me a picture. Put it in a bottle and mail it to me. Guess it's fucking imaginary.
It seems absurd that my imaginations would be modeled on mathematical equations. Perhaps people who did DMT in the 60's didn't see fractals and saw unicorns instead.
Democracy is a fucking concept, or an idea. That's like saying 'laws don't exist because I've never held a law in my hand', it's a non-sequitur.
What everyone is saying, is that you have an IMAGINATION, and that IMAGINATION gets hyper stimulated on DMT. Complex geometric patterns are pretty common to see on any hallucinogen, none of that is evidence of meeting an intelligence.
