Even though talking about wisdom and depth in this context occasionally sounds to me like some kind of racism or elitism, I have that feeling when a person describes a bizarre psychedelic experience that I’ve been in that realm myself (totally drug free) and that it still influences the way I feel and think. It’s like this part of Altered States film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40FiMy-ak0k. That’s not exactly what I experienced back in the day (I don’t want and need to repeat it – I am a layperson for anything psychological, but I’ve heard that the age of 20 plus/minus 2 or three years is critical for a person’s mental health), but I felt and still feel that mood.
