I really want people to crowdsource the DMT prime factorisation project. I know at least one person tried but lost interest before they met an elf. It just seems like such a fun experiment to run. Is it possible to recall numbers at all while taking DMT? Can you memorise new ones? If not why not etc, and maybe the machine God factorises numbers for you!
Given it's an old article I'm sure someone else has pointed this out by now, but the article mixes up RSA modulus size expressed in base-10 (as in RSA-260) and base-2 (as in RSA-768 - The RSA challenge moduli are themselves inconsistently named)
The interesting thing about DMT is that it doesn't really seem to affect your mind/cognition (that is, if you can observe all the weirdness happening in a very detached way instead of being overwhelmed by it, it is an exceptionally clear-headed experience). Not exactly the same but I've drank ayahuasca hundreds of times (worked at retreat centers/apprenticed) and it's amazing how much work you can do on a light dose vs being blasted to the center of the universe (though, that is good once in a while to get over blockages). It can be hard to get a footing with dmt because it's so fast (and it's really hard to land in the "workable" zone compared to drinking ayahuasca).
