Psychedelic Neuroscience, Civilization, and The Ego | Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris ~ ATTMind 93

Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris heads the Psychedelic Research Group within the Centre for Psychiatry at Imperial College London. He joins us on Adventures Through The Mind to talk about the Entropic Brain (and mind) theory, complexity vs. order, the disproportionate representation of 'ego' consciousness in modern civilisation and its impact on the natural world, confirmation biases and misreporting in psychedelic science and, of course, how psychedelics work in the brain. ---- Head to http://bit.ly/ATTMind93 for video, complete show notes, and relevant links.
