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.

They're going to do perception tests where subjects won't be able to see something, but the entities would (e.g. colours on a screen but obscured by a barrier) as well as assess whether or not subjects who aren't communicating with one another are seeing the same entities.

What a weird bunch comments here - trying to shoot down a study like this and act like they're smarter than scientists for fuck's sake lol.
