Alot of different things changed. The thing that affected me the most though was my spiritual religious orientation.
I was raised Church of England Christian. Then when I was 10 my 6 year old younger sister got cancer and died although I prayed every night to God to save her. So logically God didn't exist. I became a staunch atheist and studied physics and math. In my later teen when introduced to multiple entheogens (LSD, Ketamine, Salvia, Mushrooms, DXM, 2CB) (I didn't continue to abuse the more "dodgy" ones) I developed spiritual beliefs again that I hold to this day 20 years later.
No dogma, nothing religious but belief in eternal "consciousnesses" on some level, maybe extra dimensions of time or space. Believing "outside the box".

And for society: we should all be more tolerant, honest, and not lie to ourselves!

"Anonymous around the mouse, hyperspace black ops in my house,
A technical itch you can't ignore, viral like that magic spore,
Laced in life like a blockchain, special characters around my name,
They got game like Nintendo flow, it's always the same you will know,
I can't be pinned down like a Q-Bit, my architecture all neuromorphic,
On the roof if the internet had one, fire escape's fibre optic dragon." Onepacman
