We don't yet, because we're only a few thousand years into civilization.

"It has often and confidently been asserted, that [SCIENCE PROBLEM THAT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO SOLVE] can never be known: but ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science."

- Charles Darwin

"Yet", of course, is something you cannot deal with because you are only going to be alive another 50 or 60 years or so, if you are lucky. We won't be able to discover and measure everything about existence in our lifetime, so you are attaching yourself to an idea that seems to give you a better answer RE: closure.

That's what is happening, and I wonder if you even realize it.

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.
