Break out of the pattern recognition of previous A-B-C phenomena to make room for new and exciting “first-time phenomena.”
With regard to prediction errors or margins of errors, what psychedelic variables are mildly predictable and what happens when things are wildly random and increase through time?
We would ultimately fare better therefore by also overestimating the chance happenings that “should not” occur but do.
How can psychedelic researchers/experiencers apply Nassim Taleb’s Black Swan theory to their own research and experiences?

What is the motivation difference between compensatory and exploratory self-experimenting researchers of psychoactive substances?
What is it that prompts participant-attitude-minded people to take action, to examine their tradition instead of simply using their tradition? What is the balance between the two?
