Welcome to the Interdisciplinary Conference on Psychedelic Research! #ICPR24

In this episode, we discuss the intersection of psychedelics, philosophy, and technology with Alexander Bard, a renowned philosopher from Stockholm.

We delve into how psychedelics influence creativity and philosophical ideas, exploring their therapeutic and spiritual benefits. Alex emphasizes the importance of integrating psychedelic experiences within a structured and professional context, highlighting the roles of psych analysis and mediation. We also touch on the historical use of psychedelics by prominent philosophers and the critical distinction between psychological and psychoanalytical approaches.

About Alex:

Alexander Bard is a philosopher, artist, songwriter and music producer, author of six books with Jan Söderqvist, living in Stockholm, Sweden. Bard built his career as a philosopher in parallel with a highly successful 25-years-plus career in the international music industry. Bard & Söderqvist's philosophy concentrates on the relationship between human beings and technology, using human beings as the constant throughout civilization, with technology as the ever faster changing variable. Their work takes inspiration from thinkers like Hegel, Nietzsche, Whitehead, Deleuze, and Eastern philosophy and spirituality, in the latter case adding Persia to the well known triad of India, China and Japan. They are convinced philosophy will be the last human activity to ever be affected by AI.
