I'd hack apples and I'd hack shoes. I've programmed my computer and I've programmed my mind, using psychedelics and without.

Fear of death is a self-reinforcing mechanism. The more you sustain it, the more likely it will spinlock during a trip.

How well do we understand computers as humans?

How well do we understand how the brain works?

Its an entirely different field and we don't know shit. If you're depressed, using psychedelics alone should be the absolutely last thing you do

And if you're not careful it just might be

As per game theory, when you're already losing, that's the best time to take risks. If you lose more, it hardly matters as you were already losing anyway, but if you win you have a chance to comeback.

I don't think you understand either the perspective of depression or how these compounds work

This is my opinion as a formal student of neuropsychopharmacology

Its fine to use psychedelics if you have a responsible and prepared trip sitter, not alone which is what this entire thread is about. That's literally the most dangerous thing you can do and goes against all tenets of harm reduction

Depression isn't "losing" and what you say almost sounds like you're okay with some suicides. That's a bit disgusting
