Philosophical Speculations

I half-remember that some weeks ago I saw Bernardo share some podcast or talk or whatever in which he talks about his psychedelic experiences. I remember making a mental note of wanting to listen to it later, but now I can't find it anywhere. Can any of you help me out?

I don't recall what talk that might have been, nor do I recall BK ever talking in detail about the psychedelic experiments. Best resource for that, by far, is Dreamed Up Reality

Hmm. Maybe I remember wrong then.

Hedge, I remember him discussing taking psilocybin under controlled conditions in Holland where it's legal. He's mentioned it 2 or 3 times. The most detailed was with a very young interviewer (I think U.S.) - but I can't find the podcast now. From memory, he said he felt obliged to do this as a consciousness explorer, and he mentioned how he's seen The Dome and one or two other structures common to ingesters, and how the trip seemed more real than our waking life, which demonstrated to him that reality is mental in nature. I believe he's stopped now, as IIRC, he said that last time he didn't gain any more from the experience.

and he mentioned how he's seen The Dome and one or two other structures common to ingesters

I've just remembered another: the Borg Cube.



One video is here
(not the best, but gives some of his insights).

Thanks Ben!
