This is an experience which is part of many rituals of "manhood" in those human cultures that still live in small tribes. Those without all these more "modern" beliefs. Becoming a wage-slave and such... You know.

It absolutely isn't "bad" per se. I wouldn't want to miss most experiences I had under the influence of psychedelics. Some advice on them would have been nice, though.

It also surely isn't "new". In my eyes, it is pure human nature to search for fringe experiences.

Such tribes are more collectivist than the west. They often literally cut down the tall poppies in their groups.

Their ideal is you become get more of a wage slave mindset not less.

It's no coincidence the new interest in psychedelics are lead by corporate managers rather and small business owners.
