Yes, our egos act as a defence mechanism and sometimes it malfunctions especially in a world with so much information about. I like you use it to dissolve the ego almost as a reset button. Once you see the game for what it is anxiety melts away. However the thing with games is that you can easily get sucked back into it and forget you're in a game. I advocate the use of psychedelics once or twice a year.
I also believe that through every generation as more information is shared lsd becomes even more powerful interms of connecting the dots. We only have to see how many geniuses have emerged from using lsd. We wouldn't have technology today if it wasn't for lsd.
