  • 00:15:00 In this video, Jason Silva and Erik Davis discuss how people often struggle to embrace the multiplicity of approaches to life because it can be scary.

  • 00:25:00 Psychotherapy is using psychedelic mushrooms to help people with anxiety and depression who are not responding to traditional medication.

The video also touches on the history of psychiatry and how hyped moments in the field have led to negative consequences in the long run.
  • 00:35:00 These three philosophers discuss how consciousness resides in a material brain and how psychedelics can engender an experience of knowledge by acquaintance. They believe that what matters is the epistemic value of an experience, and that this value is based on how helpful the experience is in terms of relieving anxiety or depression. They consider the experience of entities to be particularly strange and difficult to describe, and argue that it is hard to make a distinction between an experience of entities and a schizophrenic who hears voices.
  • 00:40:00 Jason Silva discusses how psychedelic experiences can lead to a connection with the world not in the usual Western tool-using manipulative agent mode. He also discusses how the condition of finding oneself in an AI-thou relationship in psychedelic space indicates another dimension of healing.

Silva reflects on the idea that any experience, no matter how unusual, is an opportunity to learn and grow, and that if the movie ended there, it would already be a brilliant, frustrating end to the mystery."
  • 00:55:00 Jason Silva and Erik Davis discuss the concept of "the crack," which is a term used to describe the moment when different realities collide. Silva teaches himself how to remain in the not knowing when he experiences fear, and this practice helps him to become more comfortable with mystery. Davis points out that, even though we can't know everything, we can still have a good conversation about the mysteries that exist.

  • 01:05:00 Eric Davis discusses the concept of synchronicity, which is the simultaneous occurrence of events that are not supposed to be related. He discusses the concept of reality constructs and how they can collide, creating a "parched void." He also discusses the idea of pocket universes and how they can be a source of evanescent meaning.
  • 01:10:00 Jason Silva and Erik Davis discuss the effects of synchronicity on consciousness, and how to use them to advantage.

Playing with the revelation and veiling to suit one's needs in the world is allowed as long as the needs are additive to the community and the planet.
