Psilocybin helped my depression. Hopefully the word is getting out and we'll see some progress with medical use, and ideally legalisation around the world. I wrote about my experience here:
I wonder what Stamets would say about the benefits and necessity of conflict. When the fungus encounters the pathogen that's a simple conflict of goals between the pathogen and the fungus, yet the fungus learns from the conflict and gets a long term gain.
It is interesting that the human organism does not appear to respond well to disturbance. Although
we are only looking at relatively short time frames, I wonder if we can identify the surge of successful response backchanneled into the genome to educate the 'resonant body intellect.' Human trauma is often embodied and expressed as repeating the behaviours which cause trauma. It then becomes intergenerationally, personally, communally, and even culturally embedded. We live in a condition of continually inflicting pain on each other and the wider world. But 'better-ness' in humans often also arises in a minority revelation in the midst of disturbance, serving to rescue and carry us collectively despite the minority personally suffering abuse, vilification, and ostracism. Humans seem slow to adapt and somehow obstructed in optimising the successful minority discovery into replication and repetition of beneficial behaviour. Perhaps the conflict arises from perceiving ourselves incorrectly as separate beings. The consequence of the misapprehension of separation is well illustrated here, as well as the enormous potentials of getting in touch with our 'common thread.' Thanks for such a stimulating experience.
Stamets! What a legend. Great interview
Extremely interesting and thank you both.
Paul's the man. This was fun to read

Wonderful, thanks. You wrote “our biodiversity is formed by the minority that leaves evolution.” Did you mean “leading” or “leaving”?
