There’s an interesting philosophical discussion about what happens when people meditate or trip out too much, their will becomes like pool noodles;
The reason is that the mind becomes so detached from personality, that people are more likely to just “go with the flow” offering little resistance to authoritarian dictates.
There’s a cool theory where communism took over China because of Confucian culture and people meditating too much. It made the majority of people too peaceful to offer resistance, and they fell for it.
Psychonauts can become the same way. It detaches you from this reality, giving you ideas of interconnectedness (which is true) but with the side effect of destroying your individual will.
