Pretty much nothing of substance in the writeup. All about studying and flaws.



Yeah I was honestly taken aback with how devoid of content this was. No personal stories or research.

The New Yorker version looks more interesting.

heh, didn't expect this line:

Finding willing rabbis, however, was easy—the challenge was finding ones who were “psychedelically naïve.”


There are videos of such religious devotees riding around cities in a van, blasting psychedelic trance, and stopping at lights to dance around the intersection, offering acid to onlookers.


this should probably be OP - much better original story, not a reblog, and it's written by Michael Pollan.


Also has a way better headline heh


michael pollan, one of the best in the biz


Much better, thank you!


It also makes some mistakes:

> Many of those who chose to participate were also considering leaving the profession at the outset and so could have been seeking a way to reconnect with the divine

From the study:

> 8% endorsing that they were currently considering leaving their vocation

24 completed the study, so that's 2 people.


Yeah, total clickbait


I had to scroll up and down for a while, looking for the rest of the article. There wasn't any.



Yea I was wondering if there was some UI issue on mobile bc I kept scrolling down expecting more.

I stopped and read the whole thing to be disappointed.

A blurb about [thing i am interested in].

I now feel like yelling at some clouds.


I feel badly that I didn't warn you sufficiently.
