Psychedelics are crude drugs. Could neuroscience and super-intelligent AI help us design something better?
- The illegal status of psychedelic substances is a terrible thing, says Ben Goertzel. With everything happening behind closed doors, our societies are not developing the right set of cultural institutions to guide people in the productive use of psychedelics.
