    Is there like the opposite of a stroke someone can have that can make them a better person?

        True, ego death does wonders to a person’s perspective. But it does not make the base parts work better.

        But it does make me wonder how much evil would actually exist, if all humans were healthy.

          Psychedelics can help you make connections that you would otherwise not have made, which I would consider to be better brain function, but it’s an inexact science (mostly because it’s hard to get funding to study psychedelics), so in practice they don’t always do that.

          I’m of the opinion that humans would not be evil if they were healthy and educated about the consequences of their actions.

            I think that you just need a certain ability in order to be a functional human being.

            If you chugged lead, then…well. You will simply be antisocial.
