It then shifts to a philosophical discussion of reality, contrasting pragmatic and idealistic views, using string theory and the DMT experience as examples. The author argues that the "reality" of such experiences is best assessed pragmatically, based on predictive value, rather than through absolute claims of truth. Ultimately, the author suggests that the aesthetic and personal value of these experiences outweighs the need to define their objective reality. A concluding section underscores the futility of arguing about subjective realities without agreed-upon definitions.
