The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
psilocybin decreases the brain's default mode network involved in rumination.
But these, of course, are all kind of words we don't have their descriptive ways of putting a framework around psychological processes, but they fall short of kind of the empirical hard science that we would like to have.
And so work from the UK and additional work now is showing that at least acutely, psilocybin appears to decrease activity within the default mode network.
So with the psilocybin, what I read with the default mode network from papers you sent me was that blood flow is reduced to that part of the brain and that's how it reduces activity.
And how that was changed also.
