Is AI the New God? Exploring the Spiritual Implications of Artificial Intelligence!
Join us for an enlightening episode of Obsicast featuring Alex Beiner, author, founder of Kainos and co-executive director of Breaking Convention, Europe's largest psychedelic convention. In this episode, Alex shares his journey through the realms of psychedelics, cultural sensemaking, and the pressing crises facing our world today.
Discover insights from his book, The Bigger Picture: How Psychedelics Can Help Us Make Sense of the World, as he explores the intersection of transformation, spirituality, and the complexities of modern society. Alex discusses the concept of a "meta-crisis," the disconnection from our environment, and how this has led to a search for meaning in an increasingly chaotic world.
We delve into the rise of ideologies, the impact of the internet on our collective consciousness, and the potential of AI as a new form of consciousness. Alex also reflects on the importance of community, the sacred, and how psychedelics can help us confront our collective pain and foster growth.
