From there the conversation opens into the ideas at the center of his book, The Psychedelic Reformation: why \"renaissance\" is the wrong word for what's happening with these medicines (they never left — they were pushed underground), what the \"stay put muscle\" is and why it matters more than any technique, the existential weight of real informed consent, and why psilocybin is better understood as a technique to practice than a technology to master.\nAlong the way: gifts from non-material beings, the stolen golden age of psychedelic research, whether mushrooms are medicine, drug, or sacrament, and why science and religion may both be asking the wrong questions about healing and authority.\nMore conversations like this one → truelife.transistor.fm\nEric's book, The Psychedelic Reformation → ericsosborne.com/the-psychedelic-reformation","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/cw_W_CQmjdVkaGdASnTGkCHS3oiJPYuxv2ObEGu7cmY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84Y2U5/YjI1ZGVhNmQ4NmYz/OGNlOGU0NGY4MmY5/YjJlZi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
