Psychedelics: Chems, Consciousness, Creativity

World Science Festival, premiered 9/8/22; Pat Macpherson, Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Psychedelics: Chemicals, Consciousness, and Creativity
(World Science Festival) Could psychedelics ("mind manifesting" substances) make us more creative? Shift our mind, connect us to others, and help us access a younger, more malleable version of ourselves?

Activist Rick Doblin, neuroscientist Dr. Gül Dölen, and musician Reggie Watts join Brian Greene for a mind-bending and multidisciplinary conversation about the promises and pitfalls of these "magic" molecules (like DMT the "Spirit Molecule") and their impact on creativity, connection, and consciousness.

This program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation. Participants: Rick Doblin, Gül Dölen, Reggie Watts. Moderator: Brian Greene.  Thumbnail image courtesy of William Horton Photography.
