On Good Friday 1962, two groups of students received either psilocybin
or niacin (a nonhallucinogenic "control" substance) on a double-blind
basis prior to the service in Boston University's Marsh Chapel.

Following the service nearly the entire group receiving psilocybin
reported having had a profound religious experience, compared to just a
few in the control group. This result was therefore judged to have
supported the entheogenic potential of hallucinogenic drug use.

Interestingly, the experiment has subsequently been repeated under
somewhat different and arguably better controlled circumstances and the
results were substantially the same.

“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has
taken place.” George Bernard Shaw

We’re living in a polarized world. Just look at the comment sections on
social media platforms and you’ll understand exactly what I mean: People
holding opposing views are verbally fighting against one another to
prove themselves right and others wrong.

Here are a few examples: Capitalists vs socialists, theist’s vs
atheists, climate alarmist’s vs climate deniers, vegetarians vs
carnivores, pro-life vs pro-choice. Their goal is to hurt, belittle and
win over those belonging to the opposing group. But the result is always
the same: nobody wins, and everyone loses. People waste their time
spilling hate over others, only to find themselves further enraged and
misunderstood, which leads to more hate-spilling. Constantly adding fuel
to fire, the heated debate never ends.

In this article, I’d like to shed some light on the core reasons behind
the polarizing conversations that are all over the place, and offer some
insights on how to effectively communicate without resorting to hate and
the war mentality that so many of us are accustomed to.
