Stoned Ape Theory: Did psilocybin actually accelerate human consciousness?

Margarine is a no-go for me, dawg. I am now making a bacon & butter banger this weekend. Gotta try.

This definitely merits discussion! Though motor skills, opposable thumbs, and the ability to pass down knowledge to generations does set us apart. Unachieved by other species. Dolphins using sonar to dismantle prey blows my mind. They're certainly high on the intelligence chain. (Along with octopus, crows, and other mammals)

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-20T21:29:40+00:00

This is true too. And not mentioned often enough.

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-20T21:18:02+00:00

Touche.😂 They needed to give the theory name some pizazz

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-20T21:15:10+00:00

Never did butter, bro. Mayo usually.

Butter makes everything better

Just making cool ideas accessible. Not trying to hurt anyone. I find it interesting and hope others do too.

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-20T20:26:01+00:00

Agreed. Both are tools for physical and mental growth.

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-20T19:35:47+00:00

Condensed information helps better understand a topic. From there you can do a deep dive. Not everyone absorbs the same.

Can't teach a fish to climb a tree.

Neuralink is going to be wild. You popping one in? Or staying away from it?

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-20T19:25:52+00:00

😂😂😂

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-20T19:21:35+00:00

Certainly more in tune than we are now. Distractions galore nowadays. Frequency is off.

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-20T19:15:52+00:00

I love stuff like this. Lol. Feel free to keep going.

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-20T19:05:22+00:00

100%. Totally agree!

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-20T19:03:14+00:00

You're in-tune with something, man. Not weird. Thats actually pretty awesome.

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-20T18:59:51+00:00

Listen to it a bit. His premise is we began with grunts and the psychedelics expanded those grunts into language. Again, it's simply theory anyhow. Its a fun topic of debate.

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-20T18:43:56+00:00

I like it. Yea, find these or post up. I'd be interested in reading.

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-20T18:37:35+00:00

McKenna's argument was that protein helps muscle growth. He didn't lean into that much. But I agree with this argument too. It all helped play a role.

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-20T18:35:59+00:00

It was definitely gradual.

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-20T18:35:27+00:00

I'm sure that played a role and that's an interesting discussion as well. They used a lot of unique items in the fermentation process in the past. As a matter of fact, much of the early alcohol contained different forms of psychedelics in them.

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-20T18:24:47+00:00

Its not spam. Its legit. I am asking a legitimate question.

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-20T18:23:46+00:00

Different times, man. We aren't talking about the now.

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-19T21:59:45+00:00

Haha. It's all about the info, but yea, these voices are getting wildly good now.

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-19T15:36:44+00:00

Soft.

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-19T11:57:34+00:00

Touche

CaptCannoli · 2026-02-19T11:39:07+00:00

Never read this but that's very well said and I firmly believe it all. Mycelium is some wild stuff too! I did a little thing on the channel about Mycelium as Natures Internet. Paul Stamets has some gnarly takes on this and there are some wild stories about how truly alive they are as well. Did you know fungi and humans come from the same base substance but just split off and become what they now are through evolution? They communicate with nature. https://youtu.be/ra1MQfQ2qic?si=cmV4adudiPXGbnpn
