Becoming a Mycopreneur with Dennis Walker

This week, we’ve spoken with the satirist, journalist, and puppeteer that you may have heard about from his podcast Mycopreneur, featuring hundreds of guests from the fungal world and beyond or even from his mesmerizing TikToks satirizing psychedelic capitalism. You may have also read his articles featured in Rolling Stone, Forbes, WIRED, VICE, and High Times. We are talking about Dennis Walker!

Join us for a discussion about how psychedelics influenced his life, the origins of his podcast, his passion for fungi, psychedelic capitalism, and mush more!

Unveiling the War on Consciousness

In the unfolding tapestry of human existence, there lies an unseen battle. Graham Hancock coined this battle as the War on Consciousness. His theory was that certain institutions have deliberately sought to suppress the human capacity for expanded consciousness by demonizing ancient shamanic practices, outlawing psychedelics, and labeling spiritual exploration as ‘Dangerous.’

Ultimately, the War on Consciousness is not just a theoretical concept but a lived reality. We are all engaged in it, whether we are consciously aware of it or not.

Zebrafish might be the future of studying neuroactive compounds

Fully understanding the mechanisms of action of neuroactive compounds is difficult due to their complexity and polypharmacology. Making single-target drug discovery nearly impossible.

Phenotypic screening was one of the solutions brought by science. However, this method faced historical limitations until recently.

A group of researchers from the University of California found a way to rapidly profile thousands of compounds using larval zebrafish, which share genetics and CNS anatomy with humans, making complex behavioral readouts possible.

Breaking Language Barriers with Francesco De Luca

As Terence McKenna and others once said: ‘Everyone can learn about entheogens from books.’

Unfortunately, sometimes, we can’t read them due to language barriers.

For this reason, we spoke to Francesco De Luca, a poet and translator of the McKenna brother’s golden literary pieces.

Join us to learn more about the importance of literature, his stance on the world as a McKennian, younger generations losing touch with literature, how the world is becoming weird, and Terence McKenna’s philosophies.

Through the Looking Glass with Laguna Meth

This week, we talked with Michael from Laguna Meth.

After his first experience with a Bart Simpson tab, his way of viewing the world switched, and so did his stance on these compounds.

What he thought were substances for the weak changed his life by allowing him to see the facade forced into his mind by the media and schools since birth and pursue something more powerful.

Music.

The FELT presence of immediate experience with The Ungoogleable Michaelangelo and UnTerry McCanny

Join us this week to read a wonderful conversation with Terence McKenna.

“Uh, it’s actually UnTerry McCanny and The Ungoogleable Michaelangelo.”

We spoke about art, philosophy, puppetry, teaching about hallucinogens humorously, the influence of Terence McKenna in his life, McKenna Monday at Psychedelic Assembly’s library in Manhattan (P.S. They have pizza), the importance of philosophy in the psychedelic space, and what UnTerry McCanny would ask Terence if they could communicate. We also discussed the possibility of bringing new puppets to life!

We found that Michaelangelo is currently accepting donations for a William Burroughs puppet! (It’s just a secret between us, but I must say that the impersonation is immaculate!)

Psychedelia: A quest for the unknown

Recently, something has become a martyr in my head, and I think many people have this same question.

Why do people keep on using psychedelics?

Could it be that what we seek in psychedelic experiences represents the epitome of human existence as we try to satisfy our rooted curiosity about the unknown and could be the reasoning behind why people continuously explore the realms of consciousness and, consequently, psychedelics?
