If you're interested in experimenting...

Well, wait. Is there some way of flagging "potentially damaging information that people who do not understand risk-analysis should NOT have access to" on this site? Because I'd rather not start posting ways to hack your wetware without validating whether my audience can recover from the mental equivalent of a SEGFAULT.

I am absolutely fascinated, although given the lack of effect that any sort of meditation, guided visualisation, or community ritual has ever had on me, I doubt I would get anywhere. On the other hand, not being engaged in saving the world and its future, I don't have quite as much at risk as Eliezer.
