What if the way you speak could change the way you think? In this episode of 'Change Truth', Carl Christensen sits down with Danny Nemu to discuss his latest book, 'Neuro-Apocalypse'. Danny dives into how different languages, like Japanese and English, shape our perceptions in unique ways. But that's just the tip of the iceberg.
He also delves into the fascinating world of autism, particularly focusing on autistic savants who see the world through a lens most of us can't even imagine. These extreme cases offer a glimpse into the extraordinary capabilities of the human mind. The conversation takes an intriguing turn as Danny explores the possibility that psychoactive substances were used in ancient religious rituals. Imagine high priests in the tabernacle prophesizing under the influence of various substances burned in a confined space.
Danny points to historical texts and examples that make this theory seem quite plausible. He even draws parallels between manna, mentioned by Moses, and ergot, a substance that played a key role in the creation of LSD by Albert Hofmann. This episode is a whirlwind tour through history, language, and altered states of consciousness. It's packed with thought-provoking insights that challenge conventional wisdom and open up new ways of understanding the world around us.
Whether you're fascinated by neuroscience, intrigued by ancient rituals, or curious about the potential of psychedelics, this episode has something for you. Tune in to 'Change Truth' for a conversation that's as enlightening as it is engaging.
