ayahuasca as humanity's first tech startup, probably

Someone has discovered ayahuasca and decided it's basically ancient biotechnology because two plants have to be mixed together, apparently qualifying it as "the first psychedelic technology." The author then poses a rhetorical question about how indigenous peoples figured this out, as if the answer isn't just "trial and error over centuries" or "accumulated knowledge passed down through generations." It's the kind of pseudo-intellectual framing that treats basic preparation methods as unexplainable mysteries to prop up the mystique of the experience.
