I have just read about a delightful report that reindeer and other animals as well eat mushrooms to get high. Having done the same myself (and seen colors that are not on the spectrum) I can only nod in approval.
The entire issue of seeking kinds of consciousness different from the businessman doing his books, the assembly line worker, or the average academic writing a paper opens up a very interesting can of worms to the modern conceit of what constitutes “rationality.” In my mind modern “rationalists” are irrationally committed to their version of ‘rationality.’
And apparently not just reindeer indulge in such pastimes.
Someday I’ll write about it, but for the moment it’s just nice to know that reindeer have so much good sense.
