That was a really nice video.

Title was kinda click baitey lol. For those who didn't watch it, Dakota gave 5 meo to three different Sadhus. Two of them had profound experiences. So the ratio isn't 100% non-response but 33%.

The guy who didn't get much from it, you can just look into that guy's eyes and see the realization. And after talking to him Dakota says something really deep: "There's a difference between experiencing something profound and becoming someone profound."

When people don't respond to psychedelics, I'm mindful of the genetic component, but  looking into that Sadhu's eyes I'm convinced it's more than genetic for him. Dude is simply There.

Becoming someone profound isn't flashy, often isn't fun, and isn't easy, but it's the core of spirituality. 

The video is nice. And I agree with you, the eyes of this yogis are totally different from a normie eyes. You look into their eyes and you start to wonder stuff. Meanwhile you look into a normal person eyes and its full of ugliness(usually). Not just the eyes, the face have a totally different quality to it.
