I prefer to just put plunger heads on my feet and stand on the ceiling to wash my hair.

I've heard, anecdotally, that psilocybin/psychedelics shouldn't be mixed with SSRI anti-depressants because it can cause serotonin toxicity. Is there any basis to this? Or is that only a concern in high dose situations?

I don't think it's as important to explain to everyone in the general public how it works, but it's important that it's easy for people to understand why it works, and why it's different.

Even if you're tech illiterate, it's easy to understand the concept of a password because it's the same concept as a house key. You have an item that opens something else that is locked. You know if you give that item to someone else, they will be able to open your stuff. You also know that if you have multiple things you need locked, multiple keys are safer so that if you lose one, someone can't open everything. That concept directly relates to passwords visually.

I foresee the struggle with getting the public to change being them understanding why they should switched. If all of a sudden someone just sees that now everything is seemingly just unlocked for them and they have no understanding of why then it very easily comes across as being extremely insecure.

A significant number of people have extremely low tech literacy and understanding and that's very easy to underestimate. I've had to teach college kids recently on how to make a bar graph in Excel and there's always people at jobs you have to explain what a file format is or the difference between save and save as. Hell, think of how many people misuse reply all.

On top of that, people need concerns about what happens when a phone gets lost or stolen, or even just dies, readily available. Replacing your wallet is a pain, getting locked out of absolutely everything because you forgot to charge your phone is a non-starter.

People don't like change. They either need no other possible option or an extremely clear incentive and understanding on why it benefits them to change.

Please, we need the horns so we can endlessly honk at each other while we're waiting for that last player to join.
