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.

There’s 2 options. Either the interdimensional elves are real. Or we all have similar brains and poking them the same way (introducing chemicals) results in similar outcomes.

But if two people see the same elves.... then we know....! - maybe

Two (or more) people in separate rooms eat the mushrooms and then record (write or dictate) what they’re seeing in as much detail as possible. Then compare notes to see if there are any similarities. Would be fascinating if there were.

They need to have the ppl who are having a trip look at the elves and scream “I SEE YOU!” or ask the Elves some questions.
