To delude myself?  That is quite possible without psychedelics.  I've seen
far larger delusions with no such assistance.

I've also found that objective reality has a way of overriding
self-delusions.  (See, for instance, Russia's belief that their military is
far stronger than it is proving itself on the field.  I'm pretty sure that
most of them are not on psychedelics.)  Which is why I try to make sure my
perceptions are of objective reality.

Offense taken.  You contradict yourself, too: either what I have observed
is truth (even if partial) or it is wrong (and thus, by definition, not
truth).
