A lot of people aren’t raised with empathy or don’t have the emotional capacity for empathy because they believe their view is the only logical, reasonable view in the world, therefore everyone else must be stupid getting caught up in the trappings of life. Therapy with an open mind can get you there eventually, but mushrooms can kinda for the door open in ways you didn’t realize were possible.
That being said, I hang out with a lot of people who do shrooms, and I feel like the ego death is more lipservice to realizing other perspectives exist, not necessarily understanding those perspectives are reasonable and valuable. The only folks who truly adjusted to realizing the scope of society and the fact that every person on the street has their own individual backstory came with extensive therapy.
