Episode notes
Psychedelics used in a therapeutic context to enhance the therapeutic alliance are viewed skeptically due to the risk of creating dependency on drugs for human connection. The addictive nature and potential harms of psychedelics are emphasized, cautioning against the trend of using them for spiritual awakening outside of medical supervision. The similarity between spiritual awakening and the feelings induced by being high raises skepticism about the shortcuts to spiritual experiences. Despite the modern plague of addiction, there is optimism in humanity's adaptability to figure out solutions, possibly leading to a modern form of asceticism.
