There are absolutely no guarantees with mushrooms, regardless of set, setting, sitters, professionals or not. To say nothing about the persistent hallucinatory disorder you are risking ever time you imbibe.

Even McKenna swore off mushrooms after he went through a hellishly intense existential nightmare. His brother wrote a book about it: The brotherhood of the screaming abyss. It’s not all rainbows and happy elves, there are trips so devastatingly dark that make death seem like a merciful release.

Clojure goes against so many of lisp's timeless philosophies and principles that it can hardly be described as a lisp.

When someone says "lisp is the greatest programming language" it's these principles that they refer to, most of which Clojure discards so it can play nice with Java and promote very specialized ways of solving problems in order to best fit a particular niche.

The best way to discover the essence of lisp is to read SICP and learn Scheme.
