I've heard reports of alot of 'notorious' I guess people - Steve Jobs, the Unabomber, Luigi Mangione - report using LSD/psychedelics and drastically changing after; Steve Jobs explicitly credited it for his success, saying it changed the way he thought. Kazczynski was in MK:Ultra. Mangione used a range of psychedelics. All had huge personality changes from earlier life. Microdosing is being suggested as a treatment for depression because it can rewire how your brain works (I don't think it should be used for this personally except in maybe the most extremely extreme cases, and even then honestly no I guess if you consider it's link to some harmful actions. Not talking about Mangione for the harmful part - he's a lovely dude, but the Unabomber sucked and Steve Jobs did decide to open a bunch of weird slavery factories in China with suicide nets outside to make his products after using it though). I get it can rewire your brain but it seems so ill-understood it's like needing your house re-wired but letting a raccoon with a chainsaw do it instead of hiring an electrician.

That being said, I get that people like Steve Jobs can be considered 'visionaries'. I'm not interested in debating necessarily merits of whether it makes you better or worse or trying to make value judgements, I'd just be interested in genuinely the finer detail of how it changes perception, for good, bad or I assume mostly neutral, just different.

That being said; people who have used it, do you feel - or has anyone observed - any differences in how you act, think or perceive the world on an onoing basis since you started using LSD?

Edit: Your responses are super interesting, and give a ton of context to look at. Sometimes the language is quite general, which is very useful in alot of ways for looking at feelings and trends and first descriptors - I'm also interested in maybe very specific thoughts it changed, if possible. Not that general is more or less useful than specific or vice versa, but both are useful so interested in both. For example, for statements of 'broke down my ego' - what aspects of it, how? For statements of 'made me more empathetic' - to who, in what situations, were you not previously?
