I used mushrooms 3 years after my husband died. I have never cried that much. After the 3rd or 4th session, all the residual pain was gone. I am so happy now. Even having bad moments, I can handle them better now. I have no need to continue the sessions. I truly believe they helped in my healing.

Another great one Mr. Hughes. Take the praise. He means it and you do deserve it. A very interesting conversation.

My 2 favorites minds on the same podcast ❤

thankssss

Good one, Yes Coleman is very good. Glenn Greenwald is great also.

It's what is being taught and who is ideologically captured. Cost is negligible. Debt is cured by inflation at the cost of everyone. My point being, if we don't course correct and now we are in for a real bad time.

This is interesting, I consider myself a Center-Left type of Classical Liberal, I'm a fan of Nick Gillespie and Stephen Hicks. I never heard Nick describe himself as a "small l" Libertarian, and although I knew he was influenced by Classical Liberalism, I never exactly heard him describe himself as one. He discusses in this episode how some of his views have evolved. Stephen Hicks might have always been between these two politics, I just heard him defend Liberalism in a good debate on Triggernometry. I think Liberal Conservatives/Conservative Liberals need to exist again in a more mainstream way, but so do Conservative Libertarians/Libertarian Conservatives, and Liberal Libertarians/Libertarian Liberals. I think these actually cover what should be the Overton window spectrum.

We cant have control of our own conscious

I had no idea Coleman was such a hottie.

Shouldn’t all these drugs’s be tested for dose strength and quality etc? Shouldn’t they also be heavily tested scientifically too? These are powerful drugs that I have seen destroy peoples minds and personalities. My mothers roommate from college took LSD and jumped off the roof to her death. She didn’t leave any suicide note so we don’t know if it was intentional or it was the drug destroying her brain. Then again I knew a girl who took MDMA daily for two years without any outwardly noticeable side effects, but I haven’t seen her in 20 years. I think the risk is too great until it’s studied and tested until it’s scientifically proven it’s safe and what the potential risks are.

I used to be very active within the festival scene. Seeing the impact all drugs have on those kids has completely turned me against using or encouraging others to use them. My & your vessels are WAY too sacred to risk handing the joy stick over to entities.... If you haven't seen yet. There are frequency readings available out there & all of the drugs have low conscious frequency...

Its interesting people at Burning Man often mention the orwellian term carbon nuetral. I didnt realize having a huge party in the middle of a desert was at all "carbon nuetral" Im begining to believe carbon nuetral is just a rich person gatekeeping particular activities.

😂 I live near that desert, as well as living much closer to similar empty lake bed that is similar to the conditions of where they were at. They want to say they had no impact on the desert this year because it was a dead lake bed with nothing living there. Well, because it rained, and they were driving all over and walking all over it. Once it dries and wind comes through, it's going to blow up all the loose soil and spread it to the living areas of the desert. That dry lake bed soil is toxic to those other areas. I'm not an activist, just an outdoor enthusiast. It's been very entertaining watching them scramble to act as if they "cleaned up their mess" and "left no trace". It is literally impossible to through a massive party in the wilderness and leave no trace.

What about MK Ultra? Didn’t that LSD screw a lot of people up?

College is affordable???

Regarding Nick's optimism on the gains made by libertarian ideas, I ask, pun intended, what is he smoking? We just went through the worst exercise in tyranny in the 21st century, called COVID response. People giddily gave up the most basic personal freedoms, and did it so happily and easily they will do it equally easily and giddily the next time. That is the exact opposite of "libertarian gains"!

He's talking about a broad mindset that evolved over decades and he backed it up well with examples we can all see with our own eyes, you're talking about a temporary situation that literally half the country pushed back against hard as did major politicians. The fact that some people over-reacted during a time when there were more questions than answers shouldn't surprise anyone, that's just people being people, and didn't do much to change the overall trajectory.

Just casually outs his wife as stealing Bill Hick's material...

society is made up of individuals. If - as individuals - we act as scurrilous, lazy, self-aggrandizing assholes - we will have a horrible society/culture. If we decide to be upright. truthful, honorable individuals - we will have an excellent society. Being individual and choosing one over the other is the basis for all things good. And yes - you have to remove those who choose to not behave in such a manner. This is why libertarianism is so difficult - it must have a corollary of responsibility to the freedom to have a trustworthy society.

I think the premise of this stance is a bit flawed. Every society in history has been made up of humans. The average human has always and will always be the roughly the same level of asshole, which is to say, some individuals will be self-sacrificing and charitable, some will be awful, most will be somewhere in the middle. For the essential moral character of individuals to rise or decline, independent of society, would literally require genetic changes in our species towards more pro-social behaviour (which isn't impossible, compare Chimpanzees and Bonobos, but wouldn't happen over civilisational timescales) When societies get normatively 'better' (e.g. when slavery was outlawed or wife-beating stopped being acceptable), what's usually happened is a cultural shift which has reframed practices in the minds of individuals, as to what is normal/natural/expected, and they've adjusted their behaviour accordingly. It's not that everyone individually has decided to be a better person. To use a hypothetical, if in 2200 everyone in the world was vegan, they'd look back at 2023 and probably see our society was morally inferior. But what would have changed isn't that everyone become better individuals, it's just that animal agriculture would have shifted from 'natural' to 'barbaric' over the intervening century, and animal products would become much less accessible and normal in cuisine. (not looking to get into an animal rights debate, you could substitute veganism for a whole host of theoretically moral advancements)

"Remove" ? That sounds rather sinister !

I've dropped LSD well over 50 times. I've take multiple full strength tabs at once. The fact that Coleman had a full on paranoid schizophrenic delusion that his friend was trying to kill him and that it lasted for 48 hours tells me the dude probably needs more therapy OR it wasn't pure LSD.

Gillespie's arguments on education are totally ridiculous. Something is off with him.

Except Zionism. That's good race politics apparently.

Just. Say. No!
