minimalism-thesis
Assertion
Samir Nader argues for 'psychedelic minimalism', proposing that music in psychedelic therapy may act as a confounding variable that distorts or displaces the patient's own psychological material, and that a silent, emotionally neutral setting may allow more authentic introspection; he notes that the lead author of the paper he responds to is CEO of a company providing music for psychedelic therapy.
Quote
the inclusion of music in psychedelic therapy may not be benign or beneficial but could instead function as a confounding variable
