Philosophers said the paper’s argument is sound, but that “all these arguments have been presented years and years ago.”

Old news about the same old grift.

    Is that the gold standard? Prescribe psychedelics and cross the threshold towards epistemology?

    I think I run 70% on coffee, 30% on sugar, 2% on alcohol, 16% on being a contrarian on the internet. But I might still be in dire need of the drug that makes me realize whether material existence is continuous or discrete… I mean my small brain thought that’s still an open question. And seems the author knows the answer to it. The entire essay foots on that very postulation. And I really must have missed something because they don’t even cite a reference for it. Was it settled in the 1960 in some of the referenced philosophy books? Or is it like …just drugs?
