This post prompts the question: Has anyone tried getting together with some rationally inclined friends, chosen your favourite OvercomingBias posts and read them while tripping on Psilocybin?
I don’t think my brain is particularly inclined towards spiritual experience but I’ve got a strong suspicion that would do the trick and possibly be an altogether positive long term influence. But don’t everyone try this at home, or we might find Eleizer guilty as charged!
This makes me wonder what I would do if someone who knew which drugs to take (hashish?) came back and reported: “As I confirmed with a couple of friends, if you take the following drug while reading the following posts you will have a tremendous transformative experience that makes you truly dedicated to rationality thereafter and completely able to take joy in the mundane universe.”

I’d go with the timeless physics and timeless causality posts.
I think we should consider giving human-augmentees MDMA (but probably only consider it, and anyway I don’t speak from experience).
I think you would end up just giggling and getting distracted, frankly!
My experience with psilocybin leads me to think few participants would be interested in blog-reading.
