I'm reading their FAQ and it's pretty crank. The thing I've noticed is that everyone has a desired reality (DR) but since it's extraordinarily unlikely that people will share the same DR due to differences in what they consciously and subconsciously desire, the vast majority of DR would be populated by clones with only the shifter as the "real" conscious agent, which is pretty depressing. Almost nothing that happens in the DR transfers over to current reality (CR), which makes the DR pretty pointless outside of experiencing a particular psychedelic experience or, as I suspect, as a form of escapism and coping in a harsh reality. Something bad happens in CR, you shift to your DR as your clone in CR eats shit, and you shift back to CR after the dust has settled.
