Was just thinking about this from the last time I did shrooms my whole friend group were stuck staring at the floor because there were incredibly complex geometric visuals all over the floor ?
In: Biology
The most modern research (by people like David Nutt) suggest that the shrooms aren’t actually making us see anything “extra.”
Instead, it suggests that the part of our our brains responsible for filtering all the chaos around us into usable data actually goes starts to slow down and go to sleep, meaning were actually kind of seeing more of the _real world_ around us, our brains just dont know how to process that extra (and mostly useless) information and thus we end up seeing it as fractals and hyperbolic geometry.
So essentially the fractals are made by our own brains, the psychedelics are just allowing the extra information in.
