In today’s episode, we examine the profound impact of technology on our well-being, unpacking how AI influences individual habits and cultural norms. We discuss the concept of attention sovereignty, expressing concerns about social media and smartphones, particularly among younger demographics. We also explain how AI applications might exploit our attention and dopamine systems, leading to addictive behaviors and reduced emotional regulation. While acknowledging the promise of integrating AI into mental health care, we emphasize the importance of pausing, reflecting, and recalibrating our focus to avoid becoming overly dependent on AI interactions.

In this episode, we explore the rapidly evolving landscape of psychedelics, examining recent legal milestones like Dr. Joe Tafur's victory in Arizona for the use of Ayahuasca as a religious sacrament, as well as the União do Vegetal’s (UDV) landmark Supreme Court case nearly two decades ago. These developments signal a broader trend in the U.S. toward decriminalization and legalization, with states such as Oregon and Colorado leading the way in establishing regulated frameworks for psilocybin services. We also delve into the nuances of psychedelic use across therapeutic, ceremonial, and recreational settings, emphasizing the importance of proper set and setting, especially for first-time users. Through personal stories, we illustrate how even challenging experiences in therapeutic contexts can lead to profound transformation. Additionally, we trace the history from setbacks in the 1980s, when MDMA was classified as a Schedule I substance, to the resurgence of research in the 2000s, highlighting the expanding acceptance of psychedelics for healing and mental health.
Show notes:
● Psychedelics shifted from ceremonial to personal use
● Shulgin synthesized new psychedelics, including MDMA
● MDMA research resurgence
● Ceremonial integrity relies on properly trained guides
● Therapy versus ceremonial approaches versus recreation
● Psychedelic therapy requires a comprehensive, supportive framework
● Ensuring proper support for first-timers
