Stamets? I base it on two things I think are true, (but it is still a jump from these to he CIA) : I think most of the left is guided by the deep state - the jargon, the activism, its all too convenient for the state. Stamets says all the magic lefty words - capitalism bad, colonialism bad, all the racial nonsense, etc.. And I think the state benefits from people not believing reality is real. Shrooms seem to he very beneficial in certain contexts, but one of their effects is that reality seems less real. Whether it actually is real doesn't matter - what matters is that the state benefits from people not believing in reality. 'Monopsychism' is the term.

But yeah, could just a an asset. Probably most people with recognizable names are.
