I can tell you from multiple experiences that psychedelics will help you make new connections regards concepts. It make your thinking less solid and more melty allowing new connections. I also think it can help emotionally and it is a spiritual tool a well. I often have multiple epiphanies while tripping. And sometimes I am still having epiphanies up to a week later.
The timing is off on his theory. In his book he makes a great deal of the fact that mushrooms could grow in Africa millions of years ago. But he then cites rock art featuring a shamanic mushroom figure just 12,000 years ago. Rock art is a recent phenomenon. There are no figures before the Out of Africa event (only hatched stones, bead jewelry and the like).
Thanks for sharing your experience, Brox.
How can you know that you wouldn't have had those epiphanies if you had never done psychedelics.

I actually think a more extreme version of the stoned ape theory may be true, but it would have to use snake venom: https://vectors.substack.com/p/the-snake-cult-of-consciousness
