Psilocybin shows success in medical trials
Heidegger posited that our society's anxiety over death was artificial. Not the instinctive fear of death, but the constant worrying. This also leads to massive denial of the reality of death in popular culture (at least your own death; death is something that happens to "other people"). He proposed that people would be happier if they stopped denying their own mortality and also stopped being afraid of it.So maybe the LSD and psilocybin just cut through the socialized anxiety crap and give people a more natural or normal view of death, among other things.
