This week we announce and discuss a refinement in our podcast’s direction. Real talk: conspirituality has clearly become both a front and a gateway for the fever-dream of QAnon. As mainstream news outlets wake up to the sordid reality that independent journalists have been tracking for two years, we find neither stream truly conceptualizing answers or methods for recovery and healing. Going forward, we’re going to concentrate not only on critique, but also offering solutions.Our guest this week is Lorna Liana, publisher of Entheonation. She tells Matthew about the insurgence of conspirituality in the plant medicine and ceremony world. Some neo-shamans, she says, are redpilling plant worshippers during vulnerable states. Julian and Derek chime in with their own experiences of psychedelics.06:40 Psychedelic Evolution35:35 Interview with Lorna Liana1:16:00 Interview discussion1:50:33 Rocket Fuel for the MindAll music by EarthRise SoundSystem (Duke Schommer + Derek Beres)Support Conspirituality on PatreonShow NotesPlants of the Gods: Their Sacred, Healing, and Hallucinogenic PowersHow to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us about Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and TranscendenceWhat Are the Coronavirus Risks with Ayahuasca Ceremonies?Can Ayahuasca Protect You From Coronavirus?Is Tobacco Antiviral (& Can It Treat COVID-19)?Plant Ceremonies and Your Safety in the Midst of a Global CrisisCOVID-19 Denialism is Rooted in the Settler Colonial MindsetA Neuroscientist Explains What Conspiracy Theories Do To Your BrainThe Danger of Manipulative Love-Bombing in a RelationshipThe Certainty Bias: A Potentially Dangerous Mental FlawDopamine, cognitive biases and assessment of certainty: A neurocognitive model of delusionsThe Dopaminergic Midbrain Encodes the Expected Certainty about Desired Outcomes
