Unraveling the Philosophy of Psychedelic Technology with A.M.
The philosophy of horror offers unhuman and de-anthropomorphized approaches needed to fully appreciate drug and non-drug users' fears of the psychedelic unknown in all its uncertainty.
What happens when you mix philosophy with the mind-bending world of psychedelics? In this episode of 'Iboganautics', A.M. dives headfirst into the deep waters of psychedelic technology. Drawing from Chapter 2 of his master's thesis, he explores the profound similarities between mystical and psychedelic experiences. A.M. doesn't shy away from the tough questions, like what happens when our sober self meets our intoxicated self, or the fears that arise when we surrender to the psychedelic other.
Ever wondered about ego dissolution or the narrative self? A.M. breaks down these concepts, making them accessible and engaging. He also touches on the peculiar world of psychedelic entities and introduces listeners to xenophenomenology, a way of understanding experiences that are utterly foreign to human rationalization. By the end of this episode, you'll be encouraged to see the world not through human-centric lenses but as a neutral, indifferent space.
If you're ready to challenge your perceptions and dive into the unknown, this episode is a must-listen.
