What do Psychrometrics and Psychedelics Have in Common?

In concert with the name of our class “~~Psychedelics~~ Psychrometrics for Dummies”, we consider what the two things have in common:

1.Both involve altered states: Psychrometrics alters the state of air, while psychedelics alter the state of consciousness.

2. They’re both about perception: Psychrometrics helps us understand how we perceive comfort in our environment, while psychedelics affect our perception of reality.

3. Measurement is key: Whether we’re analyzing air properties with psychrometrics or trying to understand the depth of a psychedelic experience using scales like the CEQ, measurement plays a key role.

4. They have wide-ranging applications: Psychrometrics is used in HVAC, meteorology, and agriculture, while psychedelics are being studied for potential applications in mental health treatment and personal development.

5. Both can lead to new insights: Psychrometrics provides insights into creating optimal environments, while psychedelic experiences are sometimes described as offering profound insights into the nature of existence.
