It should be obvious to anyone that has ever read a Wikipedia page relating to geopolitics.

Could you expand on that? What was the content of the surveys and what where the difference? And where does he state that?

I don't know about you, but I would rather live in a country with an authoritarian and oppressive government that takes care of its citizens, instead of an authoritarian and oppressive government that oppresses its citizens to protect landlords and corporations profits like I do now.

That's a very interesting thought.

The USA tried using psychedelics maliciously in the MKUltra project as a means to manipulate people, but that failed miserably. On the other hand, LSD was a pillar of the counterculture of the '60s and pushed many young people to stand against the USA and its war with Vietnam, to the point that Reagan felt forced to start a violent crackdown on psychedelics.

It's my understanding, from what I read and my own experience, that psychedelics show people a different perspective of the world and of their lives and encourage them to make positive changes. However, trying to nudge one's experience in your desired direction to make them do something that would go against their interests hasn't been successful so far.

This goes for classic psychedelics, of course. Many novel ones are currently being developed and tried by various capitalist companies, so we may want to be wary of those. But for the moment, I'm very positive about that class of drugs, and now that they are being democratized again, I'm more worried about a new crackdown if they make people wake up to their terrible life conditions under capitalism, as it did in the '60s.

"Memes are good formats for taking complex ideas, then condensing them into something that is easy to digest and distribute"

Wow... that guy actually thinks that you can use advice animals to convey complex ideas. I'm at a loss for words.

Oh! We already do that in France, we even have a dedicated branch of our military for that called the "Foreign Legion". The training is pretty intense.
