Why haven't we done an systematic investigation of drugs as means towards debiasing?
I recall some limited discussion of nootropics and microdosing on LSD but not much else. In particular I'm thinking about substances that are easily acquired such as off label use of medication, easy to synthesize substances or recreational drugs (legal and otherwise).
There was a lively "spray cold water into your left ear for debiasing purposes" discussion.
Remembering how extensive that was compared to the under-exploration of the means I propose makes me cringe. Also on IRC someone corrected me LSD microdosing wasn't even discussed on LW but Yvain's blog apparently.
What microdose discussion are you talking about?
You mentioned it on LW. Just before the comment I'm replying to, Scott mentioned it, but failed to generate any discussion. Gwern has a big post, but that's probably anachronistic.
