Has anyone actually found any evidence of damage in the field? I did a cursory search but didn't find anything, though the wiki looks pretty corporatized (sanitized). OTOH people do like to claim damage from police more…

Look. I know this is a very unpopular opinion, but it absolutely needs to be said. If we continue down this path of conflating equality of opportunity with equality of outcome, society is going to have a very bad time.…
The first 12 years of your life are spent in the care of (ideally) parents who love you unconditionally and genuinely want you to succeed. Under psychedelic therapy, you are at the mercy of your therapist. I'm not…

I won't deny that there are corruption and accountability problems among US police forces, but I also can't help but feel like many people, especially now, don't appreciate the fact that American police deal with people…
