> show it

I explicitly tell you that there are things (in fact, it's a single thing, fractally generating everything else) that can't be shown, expressed, or otherwise be reduced into language, and you keep demanding to show it, while in fact staring at it your whole life and failing to see.

Psychedelics (not "drugs" as you keep trying to smear them) are just one way among the many to see it, but in the modern way of living, also almost the only one available.

I am not smearing drugs. Your difficulty is proving somehow this beyond language thing exists. A drug affects your brain, lsd inhibits certain negative feedbacks in the brain, positive feedback tends to cause chaos which usually manifests as fractals. As of yet our brains are known to not follow any special laws beyond known physics, which is turing computable. If you think there is something "beyond" you have to prove it to an external observer.

You didn't clarify whether you meant language as in natural language or any Turing language.

Psychedelics by definition are drugs and drugs are not a smear, they're a specifier. I do still have issue with them implying you need some sort of extra-sensory perception to make insights that look to follow just fine to me, but maybe I am just already enlightened or some shit from taking LSD all those times before.
