Now there's a challenge. I'm feeling a little dysfunctional today, having stayed up all night with a pair of stoners - it's been peak cherry harvest at Transform Towers and the fruit must get frozen!

That ape is doing much better than me at the task and I've watched the same pattern umpteen times in a row tooHopefully the monkey is "only" playing a game.
And not pushing any buttons.
Ah, but you're lacking the bananas of incentivisation. The faster Jimmy Chimp goes, the more bananas Jimmy Chimp gets. You need more imaginary bananas!That ape is doing much better than me at the task and I've watched the same pattern umpteen times in a row too
I feel the outcome would depend on exactly how available the DMT was. Presumably by "readily available" you mean that anyone could walk in and buy it, no questions asked?
Would we still be using money in such a world?
DMT isn't the answer; we are. The idea of selling it in drug stores already shows how misguided we are.
A world with freely available DMT wouldn't be much stranger than this one; we've simply grown too accustomed to insanity.
So what do we think the roots of this insanity might be? For me it includes, but isn't limited to, money as a complete abstraction - this enables psychopaths to amass immense power.
Any society built upon highly detached ideas leads nowhere. Capturing basic human psychology for personal gain and the fall of community are the main culprits.

I think there would be a surge in the number of people trying to make money or gain control by offering the "best" way to use and interpret the experiences. Ultimately leading to a new class of super church led by the sort of characters who currently fleece evangelist christians.
Can we safely conclude that widespread DMT use wouldn't necessarily circumvent basic "monkey politics"? I would envisage the necessity of some kind of psychedelic "drivers' licence" - but who would be the arbiters of that?
No amount of DMT is going to help without a thorough revision of our view on life. See Nexus for example and recent threads here.

DMT is a very advanced tool.
It would be better to get into psychedelics with lighter tools like shrooms, mesc or other options.
It is an interesting idea to enable better tools based on experience gained.

Maybe experienced trippers?
The office was great.
I would guess text format, video being much more data to send. If we become multi-planetary especially so.
We often talk of the weather face to face. Anything serious often text
For me this is the other way around. But I grew up when the internet was called ARPAnet.
