What’s pretty interesting to me is, when I was tripping on mushrooms hard many years ago, the Mac OSX Aqua interface was beautiful but unusable (likely any user interface would have been), felt like interacting with a squishy wet portal to another dimension, and reading interface items and digesting what something like “close” meant was nigh impossible, like “is this element close to me?” “Should I close this element like a door?”
But years later, in dreams I’ve noticed it’s similar to how my brain was interacting with an interface while tripping, which definitely has similarities, it’s no wonder Aldous Huxley wrote
