Why is it that a lot of people thinks if something is made under the influence of LSD and other shit its the most deep...

Confirmed for never traveling nor taking any drugs.

Because the entire 1950s-1970s were a gigantic meme in murrica.

>Neither psychedelics nor world travel will forcibly make you transcend limited subjectivity, so never bother with them.

Here's a hot tip: Neither will reading DFW over and over. Doesn't mean you shouldn't do any of those things tho. Maybe you should just evaluate why.

It's possible that Pynchon wrote while tripping, but he keeps it mysterious.

I feel like there's more of a correlation between writing and alcohol than acid, and while I do think psychedelics can provide writers with a broader frame of Perception in their work, you don't commonly hear about them writing while tripping.

And anyway, revision is the most important part of writing, and I definitely can't imagine people sitting down to revise after dosing.

NOOT NOOT

You don't necessarily need traveling or drugs to change your perspective on things. It can be something simple as daily observations of yourself and the people around you.

Because you hang out with twenty year olds who don't actually read.

That said, psychedelics are just used wrong. They're deconditioners and introspective catalysts. You don't just take them and get super awesome ideas. You take them and dissolve your own particular boundaries in intense and lasting and emotionally charged ways and then continue living life as a person who had that experience. It's just a little bit of being forced to face yourself for a second. It won't make you see god, unless you mean god as a psychological structure. And it doesn't make you 2deep4anything. It just makes your philosophical speculation seem less hypothetical to you.

This. Psychs are useful tools for self-examination, which can lead to more novel ideas down the road than if the user had not done that self-examination.

High-IQ people also seek out novelty in things like substances and sex more than less intelligent people.

I guess /d/ is a bunch of failed einstens lol

The real reason, actually, is that others try to justify their own usage of acid/drugs/etc by pointing at successful artist/writers/etc, whom drugs have "helped" create their work.
