Deaf Effect Management News
As described in paragraph 153 of Jeremy Griffith’s book The Human Condition, the ‘Deaf Effect’ is such a serious issue because it could stop the human race from achieving its liberation from the human condition, and so we in the World Transformation Movement thought it would be a good idea to create this page to report any news about managing the Deaf Effect.

With regard to the possibility mentioned in that paragraph 153 that microdoses of the drug psilocybin (which is emerging as a promising tool in psychotherapy) might be found to be useful in overcoming the Deaf Effect, these are some interesting quotes from an online search that describe the alienation-loosening effects of the drug: ‘It creates a “very, very disorganized brain,” ultimately breaking down normal boundaries between the auditory, visual, executive and sense’, and that it ‘temporarily scrambles a critical network of brain areas involved in introspective thinking’. Also, it helps to ‘open up depressed people’s brains’ and ‘reduced amygdala response to negative affective stimuli’. So, assuming they satisfy all the safety and regulatory requirements, microdoses of psilocybin would seem to be a very promising tool for overcoming the Deaf Effect!
Alec suggested ‘You should attach prescriptions for microdoses of psilocybin with all your books’. Our response is that a doctor’s supervision would be necessary before any prescriptions could be given out. And before that, as Jeremy said, a great deal of testing, monitoring, regulatory approval, etc, would be required.
Lucy said that ‘I just think persistence is the way to overcome the Deaf Effect. I just kept reading FREEDOM and listening to the videos and sure enough one day the fog seemingly miraculously cleared!’
