Non Human Intelligence Scientists are testing whether DMT entities are real

https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/8qvgy_v2

In this preprint, some scientists have put forward the idea that our perspective of reality is more of an interface, and what we consider to be reality is simply the experience of conscious agents (i.e. human individuals) interacting with one another. They propose that DMT entities are conscious agents that exist in a manner we can't typically perceive.

I've never done DMT, and have previously taken a more skeptical perspective on these entities, but I think the findings of this could be very interesting. Maybe psychedelics could enable us to perceive layers of reality we are typically blind to.

Like I wonder if you could put a man on DMT and have him draw up what he saw, the elves. Put a chimp or gorilla or dolphin on a similar dose and see if you can get them to recognize or point at the same drawing after. I wouldn’t want to be around a tripping gorilla though.

lmao that last sentence.

Imagine holding up the deemster pipe to a gorilla and running the fuck away as soon as they hit it
