SWIM was always a little interested in philosophical political theory.  But not 'politics' itself as it stands today.

DMT has politically motivated him much further.  Firstly, because it has reawakened his intellectual curiosity, and secondly, because it has brought him to believe it a great injustice that DMT (and mescaline) are illegal.

Before DMT, his experiments with illegal drugs had not led him to personally see anything in them worthwhile enough to feel particularly political about their illegality.  Whereas now the criminalisation of DMT and mescaline have caused him to completely reject his culture and country as oppressive.

His political stance remains the same, pro-technology Green, and some sort of libertarian socialist.  He believes in a minimal role of government, legalisation of all drugs with doctors controlling but not witholding access to the problematic addictive ones, welfare state, free healthcare.  His latest idea is one rate of pay for all employed workers set by the government to ensure dignity, but with entrepreneurs exempt to encourage such spirit while keeping employees from exploitation.
