@PhilosophyOnX I wonder if George Carlin read Ivan Illich back when folks read Ivan Illich?

[Brendan Leier @BrendanLeier]

@RCarhartHarris Lol, just read the first sentence of any paper written by a psychiatrist about psychedelics.

[Brendan Leier @BrendanLeier]

@alieninsect Do you have a publication date for your new book Andrew?

[Brendan Leier @BrendanLeier]

@MGirnNeuro Manesh, am I crazy or do the psychedelic science folks have a conspicuous disinterest in ORCH-OR? Or is it not wanting to horde all the stigmas? #stuarthameroff

@RCarhartHarris Lol, he will have to cry himself to sleep on a giant pile of money! Now Foucault's Pendulum on the other hand...

@Psych_MD @bmj_latest Dr. I read your remarks about MAID with great interest today. If found it to be quite ironic that criticism from the middle ground seems to be tolerated the least. A brave position to defend, but you are entirely correct.

[Brendan Leier @BrendanLeier]

@alieninsect Awesome! I didn't realize that GH is so old! Just bought this and very much looking forward to reading. Congratulations!

@StuartHameroff Had you thought about the tryptophan connection in microtubules before this year. It is not a well-known phenomenon but tryptophan interacts with classic psychedelics in phenomenologically remarkable ways. It doesn't potentiate but changes in kind the experience

@RCarhartHarris Where is your Rat King Robin!

@asklepiosrising very much enjoyed reading your essay on James and the Hopkins programme. Nicely presented and lots of thoughtful little details . Coming from philosophy, the mysticism scale always struck me as an eccentric tool.

My views can account for the origin and nature of life and consciousness and are testable.

Consciousness emerging from complex interactions among ‘cartoon neurons’ explains nothing, is not testable, insults biology, sucks up to AI, and is bullshit.

@RCarhartHarris Choice 2 because ;)

@GreatDismal I've been loving revisiting the great early cyberpunk classics. I'm continuing to come across comments about Snowcrash being a parody of Neuromancer. I just don't get it? Where did this idea come from and did you feel that way in the 90s? Thanks for great books!

[Brendan Leier @BrendanLeier]

@RCarhartHarris Robin do you dismiss ORCH-OR by assuming the mind is either computational or can be modeled to?

[Brendan Leier @BrendanLeier]

@alieninsect @peterboghossian @Graham__Hancock Holy shit! That is truly incredible. Did they design an overly complex insurance system first? ;)

@StuartHameroff Dr., re: Babcock's recent paper on Tryptophan networks. There is a profound phenomenological change in a classic psychedelic combination with the addition of dietary tryptophan I can't explain but may be interesting you. I'm happy to share if of interest.

[Brendan Leier @BrendanLeier]

@alieninsect

Andrew, have you offered up your thoughts about Orch OR anywhere ?

[Brendan Leier @BrendanLeier]

@TheCriticalDri2 drinker, consider checking out the 1996 film Mother Night. A faithful adaptation of the Vonnegut novel of the same name. By far the best adaptation of KVs work, brilliant cast (Nolte, Goodman, Arkin) about an American who becomes a Nazi propagandist in WW2.
