Well, is it amoral to dupe those less intelligent ?
I don’t know, maybe it is. The information on drugs is abundant online, so being ignorant is a choice. People can use it to find some revelations about God - http://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/interviews-with-people-who-just-smoked-dmt - and they feel like that was very significant experience. Well, what if the chemical simply triggers the part of the brain that produces the feeling of outwordly significance, without actually giving you any new knowledge or understanding. But I guess our current narrative is pretty much mechanistic. “Take something”. You don’t have to pet your dog, just give him some medicine like prozac for dogs - fluoxetine - https://vetxed.com/en/r/Reconcile/ - and the dog will be happy.
I don’t know, maybe this is progress.
