We’re finally getting this in place. An extra bonus to helping those with PTSD, anxiety and depression I believe will be the side effect to the casual user/society….More empathy, love and caring. We could use it right about now.
Reg does side work as a voice actor. Is official
No one does it better than Brian Greene and the WSF
I remember as a teenager back in early 90s trying pure PCP. And MDMA Was amazing. So clean
awe think you…….when he said , thats not fun to think about, at the 56, min marker, gave me a big belly laugh, …very funny… if i told you the joke i would rob you from the exp……
Psychedelics are tools to help a person to better understand themselves and the world around them. I believe everyone should be introduced to psychedelics and then, on occasion, therapeutically use/trip to reset your mind/self.
We are mirrors/ projectors to the universe
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
Like, oh my gosh, if we had just one more guest from the religious side, this programme would be totally complete!
Usually I'm disappointed by science talk shows because they're too simplified and not detailed, but this one hit different. You mentioning Konrad Lorenz and other figures I rarely see mentioned that I know of and topics I'm educated in really put me in the "these are my guys" mood and this was a very nice watch (listen).
53:59 I might be more reserved on the word "objective". If those who don't have the same or even similar priors as those physicists, those observation could very well be meaningless or interpreted as whatever that suits their beliefs. So it's less likely that significant actions would be made for those people. Objectivity turns out to be not too that meaningful after all.
On the other hand, the effect of psychedelics is indeed highly subjective, but what's being revealed is very meaningful, so strong and so new while somehow being deeply relatable and connected, thus makes the drasic shift of mindset highly possible.
Psychedelic therapy is just one of those great leaps in the mental health space . It's wonderful and the fact that they serve recreational use and health as well. I can't deny tripping is fun every once in a while.
We aren’t a democracy, we’re a republic.
When people who don't trip talk about being monkeys
Cigarettes are legal and kill us every single day. Just keep this on repeat
That was so gorgeous, thank you for facilitating. And that moment at the end, magic.
Brian is a fantastic human.
I was born in Hell. This explains the myth of the Virgin Mary.
