The dean paradox shows “reality” is a “painted veil”
Dean proves “the painted veil” is all there ever was is and will be.”reality” is just an hallucination
Come and see the hallucinations of Science Mathematics Philosophy
If LSD melts your ego, and DMT launches you into alien geometries, then philosophy, science, and mathematics—according to Colin Leslie Dean—are even weirder trips. They don’t just bend perception. They hallucinate entire universes under the influence of a more potent substance: logic.
“Logic,” Dean says, “is the opium of the intellectual.” It doesn’t clarify reality—it hallucinates coherence.
Where psychedelics like psilocybin, ayahuasca, or salvia dissolve the boundaries of self, logic dissolves the boundaries of contradiction—but pretends it hasn’t. It builds cathedrals of thought on paradox, then ritualizes containment to keep the illusion intact.
