  1. Um... pretty sure Lenin at the very least didn't have access to any psychedelics. None grow in Northern Europe. Also, evidence? Are there records of mushroom use, fossilized holders? Anything?

  2. He's really, really bad at presenting his ideas (ironic!) but what he said is true. The studies most commonly used to argue against trans-athletes competing in the sex of their choosing (so, if a male-to female transition, then competing in female sports) actually address most of the points people like Joe or even Rationality Rules make. For instance, V02 max, muscle fiber number and density, fast twitch muscle fiber proportion, and heart efficiency all change with hormone therapy, contrary to alt-right beliefs. Now, whether or not it's okay (as Adam mentioned) to trust a child's judgement about his/her own gender identity, is subject to debate. But barring a few factors (like reaction time and bone waist/hip ratio), virtually all of the factors that give men an advantage, change during hormone therapy. The issue is, why do transgender athletes keep winning? My guess is the downtime for hormones to flush out of the system is too low, or the athletes are fudging their drug test results to get an advantage. But the point is, even though he said it horribly, most of what Adam said is true.
