Implication

Discourse analysis uncovers shifts in psychedelic use among tech elites, suggesting a blend of spirituality and rationalism under TESCREAL's influence.

Key Points

  • Psychedelics are being transformed from spiritual sacraments to tools for technocratic self-mastery within Silicon Valley.
  • The concept of post-mysticality illustrates how mystical experiences are standardized for capitalist use and efficiency.
  • The research highlights a cultural shift where optimization and cognitive enhancement are prioritized over spiritual inquiry.
  • Silicon Valley's evolving psychedelic culture reflects broader neoliberal trends in governance over personal inner experiences.
