Ok serious question here folks. I just saw the meme about the cat and the catnip with the "The spice expands consciousness" quote, and I saw the dune movie so I know that the spice supposedly expanded consciousness and enabled space jump drive.

I've also heard various drugs called "mind expanding" even tho based on my observations of people using drugs and not having used them myself I am quite dubious of claims they "expand minds".

But, it does make me think about something...

What would "expanded consciousness" and an "expanded mind" be like? How do we define "expanded consciousness"? How do we define an "expanded mind"? What would they be, what would they do?

Any serious answers? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Here's the pic I saw that just suddenly triggered this thought.



See if I can get an interesting answer before the lock hits...
