I think this is the second time within a week or two that someone who’s never posted to LW before has come along with a video from this same person, asking “what do you think about this?” and the first time the person in question turned out to be here not to inquire but to proselytize.
[EDITED because what I initially wrote in the first paragraph wasn’t quite what I intended.]
And I think what I’ve watched of this video (roughly the first 1⁄3, at double speed) is incredibly unimpressive: this guy took mind-altering drugs and had an experience that made a big impression on him, as people who take mind-altering drugs often do, and now he wants to tell us what an incredible enlightenment he’s had. (And he keeps telling us that it’s something we won’t be able to understand … and then goes on to try to explain it.)
