Amazing. I wasn't aware you were into psychopharmacology. Ns are big, what's the sources of data?

NLM slide deck generator: cool, useful, sometimes really surprising in positice ways.

Now request it to edit a specific slide and you'll see Artificial Imbecility abound

Here, I found the imperial ref journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1... indeed 720% seems too much to be relevant for almost anyone else

It all seems far too simplistic to me, but the kinda story media loves and people spread all around too quickly as wildfire: makes feel good cause increase serotonin, gives low mood hang over cause depletes it.

The nervous system is far smarter than that πŸ˜‚

Isn't this the one the imperial folks compared with overall patterns of users, and these high exposures we're so absirdly high that unrepresentative of general users? When thinking of patients, makes even less sense to me as something mechanistically robust, be it acutely or chronically

Interesting mention to mdma and lower serotonin, have some fav refs about this to share? I'm quite skeptical of it

Very interesting. Hybrid or in person only?

I read the abstract and failed to see any difference between scientists and non scientists. This may have much broader implications if epistemically just

A disturbing thought: either the UN stops the drug war, or the drug war will sepult the UN. And it's quite likely that it's too late for the first 😬

Over and over the US inflicts obscene violence against the global South, in flagrant violation of international law, to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation for its decadent billionaire class. It's disgusting and intolerable. We cannot continue to accept this.

I think it's far worse, as LLMs get even simple calculator tasks as counting characters, ketter and words, wrong. They commit far more errors than calculators do. They're BS xerox and shuffle machines

I know from Latin American ritualistic and indigenous practices that it is clearly possible to manage informed consent for psychedelics in a way that resemble some of his arguments, in the sense that people don't need certainty about the future to autonomouly consent
