Can you say more here? Does your ego require more curtailing before you subject it to a death by psilocybin?

I believe so. It still holds onto this perceptive reality through fear.
I still have a number of behaviors that I feel are the consequence of a "larger than I would want" ego. Those behaviors seem contrary to the deep realms of the psychedelic experience. Thus, my ego, would not want to give up that life in exchange for its own death (obviously).
On a simple level, there is just a lot of fear born from the ego when thinking about a heroic dose. Although I do plan on taking one when I have a trip sitter. That is, at this point and time, my biggest concern. If I am to take a dose that may shatter my world, I'd like to have a trip sitter just in case.

If what Kilindhi Iyi used to preach was correct, there is no ceiling. By that, there is no limit to how far you can go, depending on how much dose you can stand. But he was only talking around the 30g dry mark. Could you imagine 100g, 200g, 1000g. It would be possible in what would probably be a really thick dark disgusting tasting tea. Do you reckon you could come back from that?
But yeah, whatever the LD50 turned out to be for humans, then if you took that dose, statistically you would have a 50% chance of dying. I reckon it would be a slow death; I have experienced 1000s of years in 4 hours

I’m pretty sure you would just black out / not remember anything significant if there was anything to remember at all. That’s my guess.

Blacking out is one thing. To me, blacking out means you’re not aware of your surroundings. It doesn’t necessarily mean you are asleep.
I can think of only one time where I must have blacked out. Because I was in one part of town; when I came round a few hours later, I was in another part of town. I had no recollection of walking from A to B. While I was blacked out, the trip lasted literally thousands of years. I was a spark of energy in a void. And I was lonely.
But, the rub, The Blind Ass, I was fully aware while I was blacked out. Not of my surroundings, but of my existence. My lonely existence.
So yeah, I do agree you would probably black out. But you would still be experiencing something. You would remember it. I had a high dose once, and have remembered it for over 30 years bro.
But who knows, it’s serious shit!
Take care DJ Ed

During one trip where I did harmalas+7grams+greens I experienced "microblackouts", my vision and experience pretty much was like a low FPS game, like 5 FPS equivalent. Walking around was sort of like a slideshow, and I tried watching a movie and it essentially was missing sub second long bits in it, making it unwatchable and same with music and this lasted for at least 30 minutes. It was a very strange experience...

Wow. Now how about this for a radical suggestion (and at risk of getting slated for not being sensible). But why not try that dose again, but without the external visual inputs. Some subliminally low background music, lights off, then see where the blackouts take you.
These are the times where I could agree with someone’s trip report that they had experienced “ego death”

I have done 7 grams again and very recently 8g and it hasn't happened again, I would like to explore this further lol. It was also a trip where the ego split up into several distinct personas that I was switching between during those "blackouts", and one of them was distinctly freaked out. A strange thing was that it seemed that during those "blackouts" the thoughts and desires were still carrying on of each of those personas, but I wasn't experiencing any of it, it simply felt like chunk of time was missing, immediate teleport to the next timeslot so to speak.

That's very interesting. By greens, I assume you mean cannabis. I have experienced the "slideshow" feeling from cannabis alone many times, but never from mushrooms.

Yeah, greens = cannabis. I haven't got any interesting effects from cannabis alone, other than massively enhanced hearing and reduction of nausea, pain and other bodily discomfort. I do some with every trip to cure the discomfort that the comeup normally causes and supress any discomfort in the stomach and later on boost the effects as the peak is over.

I’ve had the same thing happen. I was skipping around like I was lagging or missing frames . Only took 1.2g of Ape. I’ve done 6g Ape and it’s never happened there. 4.5G is my sweet spot.

I've had that happen - it was actually pretty cool.

It's hard for me imagine not being able to remember at least tid bits. I know the memories fade away with time but it seems like a monster dose won't be forgettable.

It isn’t 
Doesn’t mean the experience is “effable”, just that you can and do remember.
