I've been writing this newsletter about psychedelics & psychedelia for about the last year. Recently have been looking to grow the audience a bit while staying in integrity. Thought it might be interesting to HN!
Here's an attempt at describing the motivation:
1. Reintegrating psychedelics into our culture is a big deal
1a. Psychedelics can help us surface shadowed material, help us work with trauma & old patterns that are no longer serving us, help us become more trustworthy / cooperative / compassionate / less zero-sum
1b. Flow-through effects from doing this right could be huge; there's massive upside here
2. We don't really know how to do this reintegration, very much figuring it out as we go
3. I write to explore this, both trying to understanding the mechanisms of action better and to figure out which models are working as psychedelics come more & more into the mainstream
