Well, I definitely privilege scientific ways of knowing more than any other way 
of knowing [†]. So I don't disagree with what you *say*. But it seems to me 
that *you* don't privilege scientific knowledge in these discussions. You talk 
a LOT about philosophy and metaphysics, but not much about scientific results. 
The recent 'round and 'round about "sledgehammers", Peirce's metaphysics, or 
whatnot, largely ignoring any attempts to discuss psychedelic research and 
medicine, seems to imply that you do not privilege science.

So, maybe if I pull out the old saw again?  If results published in 
peer-reviewed literature and clinical trial data will NOT convince you that 
psychedelics can be used as medicine, then what WOULD convince you? If nothing 
will ever convince you, then you certainly do NOT privilege science.


[†] It ain't perfect; and it ain't the only kind of knowledge. But it's the 
best we have.
