It doesn't seem you have an idea what a trip can do to you. A trip could allow you to dig up memories that you hadn't been able to access for many years.

It could enable you to perceive things things you've never considered, the unknown unknowns. The kind you _couldn't_ have ever considered because they just don't enter the human consciousness in the normal state.

It could teach you how much of what you assumed "facts" is strongly shaped by your emotions, and if those emotions are changed you are able to see things in a different light.

I suppose you wouldn't prove P /= NP when on a trip, but it could show you how narrow, warped and preconceived your your idea had been what "reality" is even about.
