What cultural ideas would those be? Get out of Viet Nam? Civil rights for blacks? The pill?

Plus (off the top of my head (man)) - sexual freedom and equality, the anti-establishment vibe seen in Occupy, Wikileaks etc, freedom of expression, a raft of artistic ideas too wide for this margin to contain...

I can see attributing some artistic ideas to the psychedelics, but I think the anti-establishment vibe came from the Viet Nam war and sexual freedom came from the pill. Ideals of equality drove the civil rights movement and its natural extension was to equal rights for women.

I don't see any useful insights as having come from psychedelics. Sure, their effect is interesting from a neurophysiological standpoint - but so are brain lesions.
