In this Microdosing Table Talk episode with Alexander Beiner we dive into the role that psychedelics can play in our lives, and their potential in helping us navigate modern-day crises such as wars, pandemics, ecological crises and the emergence of AI. Psychedelics always emphasize the need to address the root of problems if we want to truly start addressing them, and if we want to make real headway.
Alexander emphasizes quality over quantity when it comes to psychedelic experiences. He underscores the value of profound and meaningful journeys over simply having experiences. Moreover, we delve into the realm of microdosing, sharing thoughts on how it’s a low access barrier tool that can play a role in collective healing, solving problems, and aiding creativity.
