POV in text under photo of Aldous Huxley

[edit]

The phrase considered by some a leader of modern thought and an intellectual of the highest rank is POV, not to mention vague (who is it that considers him such?). Perhaps it should explain why he is significant in terms of the subject rather than using such language. (I.e. what has he done to be considered a psychonaut.)

Notable psychonauts

[edit]

I propose removing that section entirely. I doubt that all these people are especially known for their psychonaucy, in some cases I doubt we're allowed to call them psychonauts at all; the actually notable ones can be covered in the article, indeed one or more are already linked to in the text. If really necessary and accurate, I think we can add a sentence including a handful of names someplace else in the article. The list gives no explanations as to what makes these people notable psychonauts, like whether they have written about the topic extensively or if they just like to get high every now and then. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 23:38, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's been nagging at me since I first did some cleanup and watchlisted this article. Seems like rather than Psychonaut, the relevant category on the associated articles is usually Category:Psychedelic drug advocates, not always directly supported in the article but usually commonly known to be true. I suggest that the best solution would be to create List of psychedelic drug advocates and reference that here. At least that's a more objective criteria; psychonaut as it is used here is relatively subjective, and for living people shouldn't be used I think unless the subject uses the term themselves.

I went ahead and removed the section. In case there was anything useful in there, putting the list here:

Notable Psychonauts Missing

[edit]

The Notable Psychonauts seem to address only those who explored via drugs, yet there are citations that meditation and prayer are also valid methods.

For example, Rabbi Akiva should surely be considered a notable psychonaut as he used meditation and prayer to access levels that others were incapable of achieving. See for example http://ascentofsafed.com/cgi-bin/ascent.cgi?Name=pardes - "[only] Rabbi Akiva entered in peace and left in peace. "

Should I add him? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.182.201.166 (talk) 08:22, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

@79.182.201.166: He seems to be less a psychonaut and more a (more or less normal) religious person. I'd oppose adding him besides if you have a ver ygood WP:RS explicitly calling him a psychonaut. --Fixuture (talk) 19:21, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to see Hamilton Morris on the list, But i dont want to add due to maybe unwelcome reception DANIELTHEDON (talk) 21:04, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NOT TRUE!

Alcohol is not the most common harmful substance that can be avoided by poisoning dildo. It does not guarantee that it is just before the end. I have a concept of "Psychonaut" (UFO Eater) which is about 11 years old. Thanks to David No, my work and help are great. Tom Tan. In this game around the chocolate box, south of Gondwana, with Tamtama. We are a dry desert. Thanks to David Icke and Lasagne for their love for them. I did something wrong in doing bad things in the abuse box. I first heard about my responsibility five years ago. He is the only person. Because he stood with the insurgents in some places, he could not survive. When I learned about the time I was using at Power David, it was expected that it would not turn black in the darkness of the giraffe. On August 13th, I was holding an annual conference that focused on community action. No, we do not plan to do this. "Video video." They in turn focused their attention on the entire background because our questions about the alphabet, not our common problems, are a perfect and correct word! Tam Tam David his arrogant son Ikuke said: "I have a wonderful thing to offend him. I want to call him a proud friend." I think Punk and Gwando will make very simple words and words with the correct name. Maybe your Gbanana will have this correct idea. The reader is always clearer than you think. But in terms of judgement and women, Tan has more. If you think you have uploaded the actions you want to perform using the main digital computer the way you want, this dialog will guide you through the previous steps. More important than the average story. Also, the part that Autumn and some of us show is part of the main mosaic, but their similarity lies in the collapse of us and others. . That's right We have time to feel angry at the Tamtam proposal. This is a good time. The news of the Tamtan Ministry was very difficult and had a great influence on the results and strength. Reading this video is easy to understand. In the same way, you lose your strength and strength. So, if new notifications are needed, the connection will begin. 105.4.2.77 (talk) 21:41, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
