Anyway, your whole world being inside your mind is self-evident to me. That is what the superego is, partly. An integrity model/simulacrum of the outside world. We have it so we can run simulations and outcomes without actually being 'reported' and judged in reality.
Anyway, i thought it is interesting. My theory is that psychedelics allow us to update these integrity models which usually maintains its integrity by being outside of our control. Since it's usually lagging behind our developing worldview and needs.
Actually you know what can cause big personality change? A good plastic surgery/facial correction. I heard it's actually one of the few things that can do that. And a positive one, too; towards more confidence and extrovertedness (if you think it's 'positive'), a trait most psychologists considered fixed in any other cases. But I can't find the source right now, or if I even heard it. But it makes perfect sense to me. Like a good jaw realignment that fixed your whole face, blaw, suddenly you're this other person.
