Bill Richards: Magic Mushrooms and Epic Poetry

In the final episode of our first season, Evgeny talks to psychologist and researcher Bill Richards, whose book Sacred Knowledge: Psychedelics and Religious Experiences is considered a seminal work in the field and is now in its 10th edition. In this discussion, they talk about:

· Why science and spiritualism don’t have to be separate from each other

· How he thinks transcendental experiences like those provoked by psychedelics are the "origin of most of the world's religions"

· His research into their benefits for those near the end of their lives

· Why is there a taboo against psychedelics research in health?

· What is our definition of “normal” and should we think about it differently.

· Bill’s summer as an ordained minister, and his first psychedelic experience

· Why he doesn’t think people should “pop psychedelics” just for fun.

Brave New World will return after the Easter break. Make sure you’re following the channel to get the first episode of season two as soon as it drops. And please do leave us a rating and review.
