In this episode, we discuss the new methods that are helping to bring about a new paradigm in consciousness research. We discuss how taking exotic states of consciousness seriously, and engaging in high-quality phenomenology can help us to understand the mind better. We also talk about the importance of having a critical mass of smart and rational psychonauts, and how generalized Wada tests can help us to understand the state-space of consciousness. Finally, we talk about the importance of cognitive sovereignty, and how it can help us to be more responsible for the information we put out.
