“I have no particular objection to people taking substances that make them feel better or more contended, or, for that matter, see little dancing purple fairies — or even their god if it comes to that. it’s their brain, after all, and society can have no claim on it, providing they’re not operating heavy machinery at the time.”
Sort of, yes. But still, we are all egoists and we feel so sorry when someone we really, really like lives more or less in his/here own head and maybe slowly but noticeable is distancing from our ego.
