Developing this sense of ethical know-how requires the cultivation of particular kinds of modes of being which do require getting in touch with information, uh, from not only your body but from things that are too siloed in your environment to notice.
What happens inside our brains when we face trauma or addiction? Why do some people find solace in chaos while others crumble? This episode of 'Flight of Thoughts' features a riveting conversation with Daniel Greig, a cognitive science and philosophy enthusiast from the University of Toronto. Daniel brings his expertise in psychedelic science, advocacy, and education to the table, making for an intense and engaging discussion.
Jake and Daniel dive into the neurobiological processes that shape our responses to life’s most challenging moments. They explore how traumatic events and addictive behaviors impact our brain's wiring, and why psychedelics might offer a path to healing. The episode also delves into the five default human responses to crisis situations, helping you understand your own tendencies in moments of 'do or die'.
With his background in cognitive science, Daniel sheds light on the benefits of microdosing and the ethical implications of psychedelic therapies. The conversation also touches on the work of the Canadian Students for Sensible Drug Policy (CSSDP) and the Toronto Psychedelic Society, highlighting the growing movement towards sensible drug policies and harm reduction. If you're curious about how our brains handle trauma, addiction, and the potential healing power of psychedelics, this episode is a must-listen.
Daniel's insights offer a fresh perspective on these complex issues, making it an enlightening experience for anyone interested in mental health, addiction recovery, or cognitive science.
