I was in a clownish mood and joked about being a narcissist and my ego battling with the LSD, which was trying to dissolve it through the trip. My ego won, I announced triumphantly. Ego Vs LSD - 1-0. I love stress, I said. And LSD was trying to starve me of that vital nutrient! I explained its usefulness in British politics, TV debates, and my polemic writing. It keeps me up at night, but I stay in the game anyway because if I don’t, then it will just be sociopaths who get involved. I can’t let them win.
