Is the world's most powerful psychedelic the personal computer, or is it 5-MeO-DMT (Jaguar)? Not having tried the latter, and therefore speaking from a position of ignorance, I'm inclined toward the former. I think Timothy Leary agreed with me.

Having experience with a lot of psychedelics it's completely ridiculous to put the personal computer in that category.

Timothy Leary might've drawn a parallel on the psychological impact of computers (I have no idea on the exact quote or it's context), which is enormous, but computers are just not psychedelic.

Could you help me out, would this video be considered psychedelic? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_dLx_J2oVs I made it with a personal computer.
