mental subprocesses
psychadelics have effects on some "subprocesses" of our mind, likely suggesting there are indepedent sub parts responsible for:
time perception
performing some activity, and losing the ability to tell if 30 seconds or 1 hour has passed
importance / significance signaling
having a thought, and a "misfiring" importance signal, making one think that the though was valuable (but realizing how mundane it was when sober)
truth signaling
(likely related to importance / significance signal)
can experience something, and have "misfiring" part of brain signal that it is "true", and so, continue believing it as such
this likely leads to some people's significant "religious experiences" (or new non-mainstream metaphysical insights)
(if you are made to subconsciously believe something is true, it's difficult to "unwire" that belief)
the above "misfires" can happen on a day-to-day (sans drugs), at a lesser magnitude
but may also have a wide range of sensitivity between people
(~ we are all neuro-divergent, but some more than others)
...and be consituent of certain DSM "disorders"
