Common sense is often wrong, is it? Please, mr. philo expert, explain that to me, as I am only a lowly typical college student.

And you're right. Entire societies do believe in things even though they are blatantly wrong. But in your own argument, who's to say what's right and wrong? Some cultures believe that young boys ingesting semen is the only way for them to achieve manhood. Other cultures blindly believe in Christianity. I guess you're right, I shouldnt go off and tell everyone that they are wrong in their religious choices, that was "ignorant" of me. However, one of the main reasons I say that is because "Christians" impose their beliefs on everybody else, and commonly state that every other religion is wrong.

I don't quite understand what you're arguing for here, because if it's Christianity, you're just contradicting yourself. If it's just to correct me from telling everybody what's right and what's wrong, then yes, you were right about that.

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.
