Future Sense is a podcast edited from the radio show of the same name, broadcast on BayFM in Byron Bay, Australia, at www.bayfm.org. Hosted by Nyck Jeanes and well-known international futurist, Steve McDonald, Future Sense provides a fresh, deep analysis of global trends and emerging technologies. How can we identify the layers of growth personally, socially and globally? What are the signs missed; the truths being denied? Political science, history, politics, psychology, ancient civilisations, alien contact, the new psychedelic revolution, cryptocurrency and other disruptive and distributed technologies, and much more. This is Future Sense. Nyck: You're now tuned to Future Sense with myself, Nyck Jeanes, and my co-host Steve McDonald. Good morning, Steve. Steve: Good morning, Nyck. Nyck: And it's a great pleasure to welcome back to the studio—and we just worked it out, it's been like a year and a half—our friend Mitch Schulz from the US, the Texan Elf. Mitch: Thanks for having me back, guys. Steve: Welcome back, Mitch. Nyck: It's great to have you back here. You've just arrived from Austin, Texas. Mitch: I have, and always great to be back here.

  • US Censors LSD Trial, Double Life Sentence Without Parole
    FACT exposé : US censors LSD trial, double life sentence without parole The Strange Trip and Fall of Leonard Pickard Criminal Injustice in the Heartland CJ Hinke [email protected] Freedom Against Censorship Thailand (FACT) http://facthai.wordpress.com More than 13 million Americans have tried LSD. US President John F. Kennedy himself engaged in LSD sessions with his lover Mary Pinchot with acid supplied by Timothy Leary. His brother, US Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, was a vocal critic of the LSD ban; his wife, Ethel, was successfully treated for alcoholism in LSD sessions at Vancouver’s Hollywood Hospital, under the auspices of the International Association for Psychedelic Therapy, which claimed a success rate of 80%. Both brothers were assassinated; few know that Pinchot was also assassinated in her Washington apartment in 1964; her address book was never found. This article addresses another kind of assassination, life sentences for LSD. Nike Atlas Minuteman ICBM The heartland of the United States is riddled with hundreds of nuclear missile silos, now relics of the cold war. Many of these 20+ acre properties were sold to individuals including those doomsday proponents who saw them as the perfect place for survival come Armageddon. The silos have 47-ton fortified blast doors and a 66,000-pound battery bank. They also seem to be popular as a great modern location for server farms and hacker camps. Wamego, Kansas, is the heart of the heartland and welcomed the silos for their government employment opportunities in the country’s farm belt. Waumego was named after Potawatomie chief Waumego but all the Potawatomies were killed in the American Indian Wars in frontier massacres during the mid-1800s.

    Hallucinating Facts: Psychedelic Science and the Epistemic Power of Data Emma Stamm Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Social, Political, Ethical, and Cultural Thought François Debrix, Chair Rebecca Hester Timothy W. Luke Ashley Heflin February 24, 2020 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: Data, Big Data, Technology, Digitality, Political Economy, Epistemology, Psychedelics, Hallucinogens, Deleuze, Foucault, Critical Data Studies, Critical Information Studies, Critical Theory, Continental Philosophy, Philosophy of Technology, Philosophy of Science, Media Studies, Critical Media Studies, Social Theory, Cultural Theory, History of Science, Digital Methods, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning Copyright 2020 Hallucinating Facts: Psychedelic Science and the Epistemic Power of Data Emma Stamm Academic Abstract This dissertation is a theoretical study of the relationship between digitality, knowledge, and power in the age of Big Data. My argument is that human medical research on psychedelic substances supports a critique of what I call “the data episteme.” I use “episteme” in the sense developed by philosopher Michel Foucault, where the term describes an apparatus for determining the properties associated with the epistemic condition of scientificity. I write that the data episteme suppresses bodies of knowledge which do not bear the epistemic virtues associated with digital data. These include but are not limited to the capacities for positivistic representation and translation into discrete digital media. Drawing from scientific reports, I demonstrate that certain forms of knowledge regarding the therapeutic mechanisms of psychedelics cannot withstand positivistic representation and digitization. Henceforth, psychedelic research demands frameworks for epistemic legitimation which differ from those predicated on the criteria associated with the data episteme.

Psychoactive Substances and Paranormal Phenomena: A Comprehensive Review David Luke University of Greenwich London, UK This paper investigates the relationship between psychoactive substances and so-called paranormal phenomena falling within the study of parapsychology. It is primarily concerned with extrasensory perception (ESP)—telepathy, precognition, and clairvoyance—as well as out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and near-death experiences (NDEs). Psychokinesis (PK), aura vision, encounter experiences, and sleep paralysis only make a very limited contribution to this review as they are seldom related to psychoactive drugs within the parapsychological literature. The paper borrows widely, but by no means exhaustively, from parapsychology as well as transpersonal studies, anthropology, ethnobotany, phytochemistry, psychiatry, psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, and neurobiology, particularly neurochemistry.
