I. PSYCHEDELICS & TECHNOLOGY
"Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life. It reinforced my sense of what was important"
- Steve Jobs
What could the technology industry learn from psychedelics, and what might the emerging psychedelics industry learn from the mistakes of Silicon Valley?
Silicon Valley wouldn’t be what it is without LSD. Psychedelics have been intertwined with the personal computer since the 1960s, when grad school psychonauts invented the first generation of digital information technology. Since the turn of the century, a generation of tech start ups has hired their teams on the Burning Man playa. Today, many AI masterminds have found their inspiration through both microdosing and heroic doses of psilocybin. Timothy Leary once believed that computers are intrinsically psychedelic.

II. PSYCHEDELICS & ATHLETES

Many people understand the psychological benefits of psychedelic experiences but what about the physical benefits? Can psychedelics aid in performance breakthroughs? Does LSD help you focus while running an ultra-marathon?
Can DMT give you better abs?? 🙏😬
Honestly, I have NO idea, but our panelists probably do!

How can we use these substances to aid in a re-parenting process that trickles out into the family system? What are some of the challenges and opportunities of an active integration process with children?
