One thing that always surprises me about the search for ET is how often the purely psychological &#x2F; consciousness aspect is disregarded. As anyone who has worked with DMT or Ayahuasca can tell you, you don&#x27;t need to travel far to reach the outer limits of space or even have contact experiences, and this is very easy to test should the anti-scientific legal mechanisms preventing such a study be overcome.<p>Its like, Fermi&#x27;s Paradox is almost completely irrelevant if you come from the position that any sufficiently advanced civilization is aware of the possible non-local properties of consciousness.
