Interesting. Mind is often divided into two halves: the lower concrete mind that constructs specific thoughts with shapes and the upper abstract mind that sees ideas. From your story it sounds like LSD suppressed your lower mind, so you could see ideas better, while the lower mind was still functional enough to materialise these ideas into 10 pages of writing.
There is an interesting exercise for people with somewhat functional upper mind and I wonder what's going to happen if you try it in that LSD-elevated state. The exercise is just focused thinking about the relationship between sound and space. Before the exercise begins, the "trainee" needs to get a good understanding of the two concepts. First think about what the general idea of sound is: what really makes sound a sound? Then think of space as the spacetime in the GR theory: it's some kind of fundamental structure that obeys wave-like GR equations, so it naturally has all sorts of quantum-scale ripples and large gravity waves. Once you have a grip on the two concepts, the exercise begins: combine the two thoughts and stare at the "mix" with your mind.
For average folks this will produce no effect. But for those with somewhat working upper mind and well functioning lower mind, this produces one specific effect. I basically wonder if LSD allows you to skip a very long training process and enter the mode, at least temporarily, to make this exercise useful.
P.S. As to what that effect is, I'd say it doesn't matter. If it works, you'll see it. Turning on lights is a matter of flipping a switch, not the knowledge of electricity.
From the gov's point of view, citizens and companies are shareholders in the "US corporation". Right now, the poor citizens own a 10% stake in the corporation. UBI is about giving them maybe 20%, at the expense of diluting the share of bigger shareholders. The board members don't want to dilute their own share, but if the corporation goes out of business, their own stake won't be worth anything. The absolute numbers are irrelevant: what matters is the stake percentage, not whether it's measured in billions or trillions of shares.
Tech leadership really means the middle management, i.e. folks hired to manage the line workers. Wait until they find out about the race of most capital owners!
In the corporate setting, if a large org is deemed incompetent, a common solution would be to mark that org as second class and create another similar org with the first class status. The second class org would get funding cut, no raises, no interesting work. The first class org would be the opposite. A transition is possible via an interview that filters out the incompetent types. And one day the second class org is told that there is no more work for them left and they have 1-2 months to find an internal role or move on.
Perhaps the location is only a side effect, while the true reason is the low supply of qualified coders. Why do corp lawyers command $400-600/hour? Why not to just hire a lawyer in India for $40/hour? Why not to hire a cheap accountant in Phillipines? Ah, right, the cheap options cost more in the long run and those who are competent have migrated to the US and now command the same 600/hour.
I'm sure Zuck doesn't know the concept of fairness and would laugh if someone would explain it to him. Words that Zuck understands are "efficient", "justifiable", "profitable".
Someone who's paid 400k can afford to buy a bunch of phones and laptops, install whatever survelliance software on them and leave them at a rented trailer.
Some non-compete agreements with binding-arbitrage by a employer-chosen arbiter. Employers will try to limit options for labor. Whether it's enforceable is another story.
