This chapter explores the potential benefits of using psychedelics to help people with brain disorders, enhance spiritual experiences, and improve problem-solving and creativity. The speakers discuss the role of psychedelics in obtaining objectivity and connectivity, and mention examples of artists and scientists who claim to have had insights while under the influence.
Do psychedelics reveal a different objective reality? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice learn about psychedelic drugs, treating PTSD, and other mind-bending research with President of Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) Rick Doblin.
