My answer is that DMT states of consciousness show clear computatipnal properties that are extraordinary. In this video I cover how on DMT you may encounter entities that can color hyperbolic surfaces in extremely precise and quick ways, allow for topological transformations with non-trivial properties like turning sequences of experienced into tubes and then comparing them side by side, and identify topological extrema of shapes you have never seen before at sub-second speeds. Essentially, on DMT you see really sophisticated examples of exotic qualia computing, which causes an immense impression of intelligence, agency, and information processing mastery. youtu.be/S6ez5RJcsCg?is=8ZM-…

We take it for granted, but anesthesia is one of the best things that has ever happened to humanity. It turns major surgery from a torture-chamber-level horror into a worrying, but relatively painless, endeavor. Nitrous oxide was used recreationally decades before it became medicine. Around 1800, Humphry Davy held nitrous sessions with doctors, chemists, and poets. They noticed the tingling, the euphoria, and pain disappearing. Davy even explicitly proposed using it in surgery. In 1818, Michael Faraday reported that ether produced similar sleep and analgesia. In 1824, Henry Hill Hickman rendered animals unconscious, operated on them without apparent pain, and proposed doing the same for human surgery. The Lancet dismissed it as “surgical humbug.” And still nothing happening. Where is the urgency? It took Horace Wells attending a public laughing-gas exhibition in 1844, where he saw a man badly injure his leg without feeling it. The next morning, Wells had his own tooth extracted under nitrous. According to my calculations, preventing cluster headaches would reduce an equal or greater amount of total suffering than anesthesia does. (This is not mere speculation - I've ran countless MCMC methods on available data under a range of assumptions; @alfredoparrah actually developed software for this). And DMT aborts cluster-headache attacks at sub-hallucinogenic doses, often within thirty seconds, for a majority of sufferers who have tried it. People use DMT recreationally and spiritually. Even doctors. Yet it's illegal and not recognized as the powerful painkiller it is for the worst pain and suffering a human can medically experience.
