Altering your consciousness does not affect your genetics any more than you lifting weights will make your offspring more muscular.
True, but if you are in a culture of weight lifters, then the offspring with randomly better "weight lifting" genetics will be more successful. That's natural selection. Environmental pressures direct the course of evolution. There doesn't have to be an affect on DNA. Remember Darwin? He knew nothing of DNA or genetics when he wrote The Origin of Species.
Same as with mushrooms. If our ancestal primates lived in an area inhabited by psychedelic mushrooms, and ate them, that could create an environment where "higher" consiousness and creativity were selected to evolve.

Only two false assumptions in one short statement. Not too bad.
1. Women (in general) will choose a jock over a mathematician ANY DAY of the week.
2. There is ZERO evidence that psychedelics make one smarter as evidenced by the egregious grammar, spelling, and inability to clearly express thoughts that permeate this board.

mmmmmm, I dont know about that. If we are going to level women to being single-minded creatures, they will go for money before anything else.

You still haven't commented that your comment about perception having nothing to do with your DNA has been proved wrong by some very smart cookie's.. What do you have say about that?? Or do you just want to ignore it?? http://www.hofmann.org/papers/Human%20Genome%20-Cosmic%20Joke.html Actualy read it this time..

Wow. Only one under-handed insult in this post.

That is surprising, I didn't know there were jocks and mathematicians back then.
Quote:

For instance, saying "There is ZERO evidence" is a grammatical error. Maybe you are right Swami, you've proved your own point for us.

Wow. Only one under-handed insult in this post. Calling an assumption false is not an insult any more than saying 2 + 2 = 5 is false. That is surprising, I didn't know there were jocks and mathematicians back then. Back when? Evolution is supposed to be on-going, not something that stopped long ago. For instance, saying "There is ZERO evidence" is a grammatical error. Wrong again. (Not an insult, but a fact.) Zero can be used as a noun or an adjective. Learning is fun, try it. Webster zero: adj. Of, relating to, or being zero.

Where is it going that you don't like? Does your not liking something change the "way things are"?

please enlighten us as to how "the way things are"
firstly, women dont care about physique like they did in the past, physical ability is secondary to mental capacity or the ability to make chedder, that is obvious to anyone with half a fucking brain.
secondly, women, like men, have the ability to transcend reproductive instinct in the sense that they regularily choose partners that arent the prime genetic candidates, nor are they good at making money.
