==The bigger context and global objective function, increasing positive psychological sense of wellbeing globally, solving the global meaning crisis and meta landscape of existencial risks crisis==
Psychedelics are an important piece of the puzzle in the quest for effectively increasing positive psychological sense of wellbeing globally, solving the global meaning crisis and meta landscape of existencial risks crisis (1) disguised as symmetry crisis on all scales. What makes an ecosystem of nonlinearly interacting parts in a whole healthy? Symmetrical dynamics, easier consonant information flow between parts. (2)

Healing through annealing is one way! (1) Increasing Temperature or Entropy Mediated Plasticity of the system by an injection of a flow of energy, of stochastic activity, by thermodynamically heating the selforganized flow of information, allowing for the formation of better more smooth consonant canalization valleys that take in context updated information distribution in the sense input data.

Such that we are able to tackle and solve the existencial risk and meaning crisis, give raise to less agents that destroy mental health of the population by attentional and limbic hijacking maximizing market dynamics that optimize for attention instead of meaning because of unregulated technological arm races as part of multipolar traps that benefit local structures in the short term and harm global structures in the long term.

Injection of energy allows for disrupting system's own local fix point homeostatic attractors, putting it to the edge of chaos, of its capabilities, to see other pleasant problem solving error reduction gradient slopes, (1) making it more flexible, adaptable, by allowing for disintegration of local structures that form dissonantly interacting nonlinearities, and giving raise to conditions for the construction of more global interconnected smooth consonant unified dynamics via canalization on a higher level of complexity, metaperspectival level, giving raise to more frictionless coordination, easier communication between subagents, interconnected governance systems, in the mind or the humanity.(2)

Europe's nation states unifying with higher degree of memeplex (ideologies, philosophies, goals) coherence after Russian threat is a case of an annealing on this scale!
Existencial threat signal injected more energy and the complex system of interconnected european nations which as a result disintegrated local nonlinearities (differences between european nations) and selforganized into a more overall symmetrical consonant structure. Single unifying objective function: not get consumed by outgroup Russia.
Civilizations or brains too rigidly overfitted to stable environments then fail to adapt to new challenges as reorganizing plasticity is missing and disintegrate.
Maybe one day all humanity will all eventually live in unified transhuman utopian harmony for team consciousness, if one culturally/politically designs the annealing forces towards cooperative unification on global scale. Daniel Schmachtenberger is good at unifying people towards solving existencial risks, Andres Gomes Emmilson and David Pearce are great at unifying people towards consciousness utopia. Those memeplexes are good at injecting this kind of energy in groups of people creating global coherence.
Utopian visions are more likely to be caught by more optimistic people, less pesimistic people. Lots of selective confirmation bias is going on depending on what we already know, if we learned to think optimistically or pessimistically. Fear and hope. Trust issues? Need to change. Sometimes acceptance is better (equaminity), sometimes not, depending on the context, such as the objective function "hell must be destroyed on the global scale, not just on the local scale". Vervaeke's relevance realization, uncertainity reduction, on all scales.
Michael Taft's and Shinzen Young's global relaxation guided meditations progressively dissolve disconnected canals in the brain generating experience
in the the most direct method. I think periodically doing days of their relaxation meditation, then 5-MeO-DMT trip and then some more days of relaxation meditations, is the most efficient protocol for progressive meaningfilling of experience the most directly on the level of topology of the brain.
Developed world suffers from polarizing canalization on all scales.

==Meaning and Metacrisis==
Valence (internal and external attraction) crisis seems to in general be solved by some interconnecting memeplex on both individual and local level or all the other factors in equation of happiness. "Everything is made, comes from God, awareness." Any common beliefs, goals, values, ideology, philosophy, language, meaning,... it's about destressing the individualist local structures and stressing collective global structures until they're stressless dissolved unified baseline. Everything else in the happiness equation holds as well.
Solving the metacrisis by emergent coherent symmetrically distributed and governing societal values as high level priors of civilizational hyperorganism emergent from democratic power checking through education binding exponential tech and other potential existencial risks increasing adaptibility, coordination, unity, wellbeing of people? [- YouTube]([- YouTube]([- YouTube]([- YouTube]([- YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v==g7WtcTATa2U))))) Is the absence of unifying misaligned collective values and goals top down fundamental bayesian prios a sign of pathological disintegration of a hyperorganism?

Moloch dynamics. https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/ I think this kind of mathematical dynamics can be applied scalefree in society and the mind. Psychopathologies can be seen as maladaptive nash equilibrium configurations of subagents. For example small perturbations can easily create tons of error signals in the system, putting it under stress which can unify it or destabilize it. Or trade off between freedom and governance, competition and cooperation. I care about both scales about everyone.
Civilization can be analyzed in three ways that interconnectedly interact and influence eachother by interforming: what is its a memeplex (world views, value systems, what ought to be) (computational), social coordination strategies (behavior, financial incentives) (algorithmic) and physical tooling set upon it depends (tech) (implementational). What changes in all three od them simultaneously, factoring all the feedback loops, produce a virtuos cycle that orients in a direction that isnt dystopias (Chinalike top down agent imposing (opressive) goals and values on people instead of them being emergent from the values of people getting into the government using democracy) or catastrophies (zero governance, zero power checking, asymmetrical competetion of everyone, anarchocapitalism, bezos empire versus zuckerberg empire, zero top down agent) ? Cumulative exponential tech level is currently the most dominant and binding all other levels instead of the other way around. We need values of the people to bind tech instead. Those values can be elected into governance via will of the people via democracy with checking and balances of power from the people and by separation of power, preventing opression, tyranny and dystopias, creating aligned emergent instead of imposed values, by educating people both scientifically and morally and theory of governance, such that collective will of the people isnt dumb and misguided to govern exponential tech and selfterminate creating catastrophies but instead bind it for long term adaptive wellbeing by thinking about its nth order effects without big narrow techno pessimist or techno optimist bias universally globally to prevent arms races to not selfterminate the whole world by multipolar traps. Unity via less narrower more connected through more fundamental similarities value systems preventing stuff like left right polarization. For example people of US have small power on power checking the economical power.
I wanna experience all beings feeling peace, safety, satisfaction, selfrealization, belonging, acceptance, being understood, freedom, happiness, contentment!
