There is a really interesting experiment there, right? I guess we have all watched or heard of Matrix, wondered what if everything is a simulation, and seen code somewhere. What if you take a guy from some backwater place who has never seen any code, give the poor guy DMT and shine a laser at a wall? Is it a thing we imagine because the brain is wired that way? Or because we are culturally primed to imagine this? A guy who has never driven a car probably won’t have that classic “car with no/broken brakes” dream either, right?

Of course it’s because of culture.
Yes, often culture plays a huge role, but some psychedelic experiences are universal and likely reflect the way our brains construct reality.

Yea but you’re not going to see code running if you haven’t ever seen code. This is clearly something coming from culture.
It’s like people seeing hags in the US under sleep paralysis and people elsewhere seeing other mythological creatures.
