Together, they dissect society's reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic and discuss the government's response, shedding light on the underlying dynamics at play. The discussion takes an intriguing turn as Jack and Neil explore the topic of artificial intelligence, delving into the fear surrounding AI and how it stems more from human reactions than the technology itself. Neil shares insights into his books, from "Emergency" to "Truth" and "The Game," and reflects on the controversial response they elicited from the public. The conversation dives fearlessly into the realm of plant medicine, as the duo open up about their personal experiences, psychedelic visions, and the unexpected encounter Neil had with an evil shaman spiraling them into a deeper conversation on their beliefs on death and the afterlife, UFOs, and the concept of staggered disclosure.
