Carroll Quigley was a very interesting historian and author.
Although he is known for his work on exposing the "Round Table Group" and the "Society of the Elect" he is best remembered as one of Bill Clinton's favorite professors. Although not an indictment on Quigs it speaks to his overall view of how the world turns.
Tragedy and Hope is one of my all time favorite books.

LSD vs. SSRI
Psychedelics activate neuronal networks and the glutamate system that are implicated in the regulation of emotion," Vollenweider says, noting that their hallucinogenic effects can be impeded by < blocking specific serotonin receptors in the brain (known as 5-HT2A).
Psychedelics typically boost serotonin and may also boost the release of glutamate, according to the review authors, another neurotransmitter that has been linked to short-term but long-lasting brain functions such as learning and memory.
The idea that disturbances in brain chemistry might be important to behavior was profound, and began to revolutionize thinking about the brain, and neuroscience in general, and we can see how LSD was the catalyst for that revolution. If neuroscience can be said to have a beginning, one could argue that it occurred in 1954, with the idea that the action of LSD might be related to its effects on the
brain serotonin system. And if we look at the published scientific literature, we see a steadily increasing number of studies on
the role of serotonin in the brain, which continues to the present day. Drugs that
affect the serotonin system such as fluoxetine (Prozac) and other SSRI type antidepressants, or the triptan class of drugs used to treat migraines, were certainly developed more quickly because
of the discovery of LSD.
The newest generation of drugs to treat schizophrenia also binds to one class of serotonin receptor. Would these meds have been developed without the discovery of LSD?

SSRI = LSD 2.0
The LSD experiments were purportedly
carried out because the U.S. believed that communist Russia, North Korea and China were using the drug to brainwash captured Americans. Consequently, the CIA didn’t want to fall behind in developing and responding to this potentially useful technology.
So, incredibly, it decided to slip acid secretly to Americans — at the beach, in city bars, at restaurants. For a decade, the CIA conducted completely uncontrolled tests in which they drugged people unknowingly, then followed and watched them without intervening
According to most accounts, the CIA's interest in mind control began with the Hungarian show trial of Cardinal Josef Mindszenty. One of the highest-ranking members of the Catholic clergy in Europe, Mindszenty was arrested by Hungarian police and tried for treason in 1949. Before stunned global television audiences, he confessed to crimes he had not committed, while staring off into space and showing other signs of aberrant behavior. The CIA feared that he had been brainwashed.
He had to change their perception of reality—create what he called a "pseudo-reality"—and then let them act naturally. If he could create the right reality, he could manipulate people into doing almost anything.
Controlling perception facilitates control of actions, and the CIA developed projects designed to control perception on many scales. Projects ranged from dosing individuals with LSD to influencing entire societies through planting false news stories or covertly shaping art and culture.The perception-altering properties of LSD and other psychoactive drugs fit well with the CIA's agenda.
At least 86 universities or institutions were involved in MKULTRA projects in varying capacities. Many MKULTRA researchers were highly regarded; Cameron was president of the American Psychiatric Association in 1953, and Isbell's findings were published in scientific journals and his tolerance studies are cited to this day.
Eli Lily was the CIA provide of LSD [Patent]
After the CIA was criticized for using LSD they stopped the production.
Eli Lily later brought SSRIs onto the market...
