I don't know and honsetly I really don't care. What matters is what I do with it. It's really fun, I get a ton of physical exercise, I meet and talk to a lot of people, I help the organization with taking care of the garbage (I can't enjoy a rave fully if the land looks like a garbage dump).

I then get all my insights, because my mind never stops thinking about philosophy, and I write them down. Rinse and repeat.

It has profound effects in my life. Full disclaimer, I also exercise a lot, I have a fulfilling job in tech, I go to therapy, I dedicate myself to arts, I dedicate myself to my partner and my pets (which are almost like familiars for me).

Is it placebo? Is it my lifestyle? Is it the drugs?

I just apply non-interpretation to all these things that happen in my life and I go with it.
