Psychedelics and the Singularity
David Jay Brown is the author of Dreaming Wide Awake: Lucid Dreaming, Shamanic Healing and Psychedelics; and of The New Science of Psychedelics: At the Nexus of Culture, Consciousness, and Spirituality. He is also the coauthor of Women of Visionary Art and five other bestselling volumes of interviews with leading-edge thinkers: Mavericks of the Mind; Voices from the Edge; Conversations on the Edge of the Apocalypse; Mavericks of Medicine; and Frontiers of Psychedelic Consciousness. Hes the author of two science fiction novels and his new book is Psychedelics and the Coming Singularity. We talk about the brilliant and cutting edge thinkers he's interviewed over the past 30 years.
In this interview we talk about the experience of DMT, a powerful psychedelic that is the active substance in Ayahuasca, but is also available through smoking in powder form, and the venom of the bufo toad, each with different and profound effects. And how it tends to awaken a new broader ecological awareness in most people, that may be the only hope we have of surviving our unfolding climate crisis.
We talk about artificial intelligence and the singularity, and the idea of living in a simulation and how this idea has been around for thousands of years in different ways. We talk about what happens after we die and the nature of God

Chapter 8: Threads

Thom Hartmann and other programming preempted to bring this reading of The Last Train from Hiroshima, in a second edition revised by the author; a slightly different version than the one that Roy of Hollywood traditionally used to air on this week of the anniversaries of Hiroshima on Tuesday and Nagasaki today. May peace prevail on Earth, and may it begin with me.
