lol i am actually serious about this.
if you gauged drug-use by power level (and we assume there is some correlation between causal-factors and "enlightenment" experience not to mention possible "super powers")...
the actual power level of some drug-abuser like timothy leary is way way higher than someone like the equivalent saudi arabian dictator throughout the life of leary.
yes, the saudi dictator is in a different machine (which is for most intents and purposes less powerful)...
but the actual power-level entropy or waste of leary is quite considerable.
it's not all that different from GDP... like saying leary represented a significant sector of "commerce" in the united states which not everyone was privleged to participate in.
then the united states GDP is like 20 trillion and leary and his quite privledged colleagues represented a significant fraction of it.
while saudi arabian GDP is like .6 trillion (or a very small fraction of the USA GDP)....
but this is just comparing two machines--why does one continue to exist with its barbaric practices while the other continues to exist with more technologically advanced practiced?
there is no reason other than basically power level entropy.
everything most people know and believe about ethics and morality--the basic nature of life we practice everyday...agrees with good samaritan rules. you would rescue someone who was about to run over by a bus unless you were already crushed under a bus.
that's how we know timothy leary was an asshole.
