@10DowningStreet we won’t have a 10 year NHS plan if we allow western missies to strike deep into Russia. Please do not allow it ❤️

The frustration of the desire to possess is the immediate cause of suffering.

To the degree that you condemn and find evil in others, you are to that degree unconscious of the same thing in yourself.

Anyone who thinks Skinner didn’t know what he was talking about should watch this demonstration of the partial reinforcement schedule

@GCampbellPsych Retinal circus, I love it! Predictive encoding -interesting.It somewhat scares me to think it could be something about broader networks - the anecdotes of information and messages being carried via gemotric shapes in the DMT trip is interesting too. But could be a false positive

Can someone explain to me why geometric patterns often characterises the psychedelic visual perception aspect. Is it a sensory phenomena ? I.e is it something inherent in the structure of eye neurons - or is it deeper?

Some light reading this morning on what can happen when spiritual experiences are not well integrated. Walach is not necessarily talking about #psychedelics, but it's eerily familiar nonetheless:

[Matthew W. Johnson @Drug_Researcher]

Many of us scientists responsible for the psychedelic research renaissance think there is realistic question about heart valve disease from chronic admin of microdoses. LSD, psilocybin, MDMA all agonize 5-HT2B receptors, a mechanism linked to valve disease. It got fen-phen yanked

Delighted to bring you this new (open access) review paper with Ari Brouwer on the 'Pivotal Mental State'. A new construct closely related to psychedelic states: https://t.co/NL20YqoCTh

Interesting. @BretWeinstein maybe this has some implications for variability of mice clones used in research

[Matt Rowley @Matt_rowleyy]

I would argue that psychedelic is less unitary than pain. Something can feel psychedelic when it isn’t - meditation- that doesn’t mean it is psychedelic. It is not possible for something to feel like pain without being painful

[Jussi Jylkkä @JylkkaJussi]

Something is psychedelic if and only if it feels psychedelic, just like something is pain if and only if it feels like pain. These are phenomenal terms that refer transparently or directly. But the conceptual meaning of "psychedelic" is not similarly transparent, interestingly.

[Matt Rowley @Matt_rowleyy]

Deep meditation ! Yoga! Intense exercise ! Anything that breaks that mind body narrative we tell ourselves

[Samuel Paul Douglas @BeachPhilosophy]

What's something that feels psychedelic, but isn't?

[Professor Catherine Loveday 💙 @CathLoveday]

This is just beautiful. The power of music.
