Rebel Wisdom and the Psychedelic IDW

 

 I've shared this video to start at the point when she discusses the new think tankers (rationalist rebel wisdom types) continual appeal to the realm of psychedelically enhanced consciousness as a way to hatch new ideas that are capable of providing answers to long term problems like the climate crisis and why the heck capitalism is not really working the right way (unless you consider the using up of natural resources, wage slavery, actual slavery and setting us up for repressive control regimes to be the effect or cause of properly functioning capitalism). She's really put her finger on the pulse of the issue when she takes note that it is the deep fear of the deep state and the ultra rich (including burners among them) that are summoning forth ideas from the realms of the mind they (some of them, anyway) have themselves tradtionally in the past equated with irresponsibility, dangerous freedoms of cognitive agency and/or borderline insanity. It's evidence of a deeper admission that the limits of control have been reached.
