>the idea of using technology to transcend into a higher being appeals to me
This might appeal to you, but if you are being perfectly honest with yourself, do you even believe that it's possible? And if you believe it's possible, what does that even mean, to be a "higher being"?
What you need is Jesus Christ, brother. There is no higher being than Christ, who is God in the flesh. Through Him, and only through Him you may become a "higher being", someone who is holy, righteous, loving, gentle, humble, merciful etc… This happens only, and ONLY through the grace of God, who is ultimately the source of all goodness.
In Him is also the peace and calmness you are looking for, together with the assurance that everything will be fine.
Read the gospel of John, brother, and really consider:
Is it possible that Jesus Christ of Nazareth truly is who he claimed to be? The living Son of God of the universe?
I testify and assure to you that He truly is.

I'm not really religious. and I don't think there's anything divine or whatever about the internet. I think it's a cool revolutionary thing that lets people connect and learn things together and can empower people to have experiences they may not have otherwise had, tho

>and that we're losing our touch with reality
Care to expand on this? Like, how do you conceptualize reality and being in or out of touch with it?

Personally, I am unsure how I feel about this whole thing.

On one hand, my animistic beliefs harmonize very well with my love for tinkering and understanding, and my experiments re-programming of xenophobia to xenophilia.

On the other, I have a growing sense of dread from the speed at which a lot of technology operates, and the growing rift between reliance on and comprehension of more and more advanced technology.

I'm trying to solve this by ways of technological degrowth without resorting to primitivism, combined with spiritual breadth and ecological grounding. Insha'allah we get planetarily stable ecosystmems for circuit boards and drugs, but my imagination is having trouble visualizing how we'll get there.

Basically there's 2 interpretations

1. The Materialist Neurochemical explantion

DMT is produced in the human mind naturally when we sleep, when you smoke DMT you basically force yourself into a dream state while being fully conscious

When we dream, we imagine very detailed worlds, encounter autonomous entities,, people tend to have similar dreams etc. But the difference is we are fully concoius, so everything feels *real* in a powerful and terrifying way.

So it makes sense that people's experiences on DMT are similar, as opposed to LSD for example, which is a foriegn neurotoxin and so highly unpredictable, DMT is something our brains already know how to process.

2. The mystical inter-dimensional interpretation

Reality isn't real, our brains are inter-dimensional computers which are connected to multiple realities and doing DMT allows us to tap into the infinite spiritual complexity of the univerese.

>The reasons are twofold
Most likely something like this. Also creating rabbit holes and dead ends for foreign intel to waste their time on. Congressional hearings might be part of the theater and never forget to follow the money. Defense contractors can profit off of this lore.

2020s jre pilled

Space and aliens are fake, hence both being shilled so heavily al the time, especially in the 2000's. The whole 'ayyyy lmao' stoner conspiracy theorist is a psyop to distract from actual happenings. The end goal of course, is to BlueBeam all of us into submission to a Gnostic religion so the Cabal can complete the Great Work. iykyk
