21. Awe and Self-Transformation
Podcast: Scott Carney InvestigatesPublished On: Fri Aug 04 2023
Description: Do psychedelics actually make you a better person, or do they just make you feel like you're a better person. In this show I begin with the notion that spaceflight fundamentally transforms the consciousness of astronauts who blast off the surface of earth, the tendency for space tourists to snap selfies with the planet, and the marginal utility of getting 1% better every time you take a cup of ayahuasca.
