My hypothesis is that these findings reflect more of a threshold phenomenon in which you need to get a certain number of serotonin receptors activated and beyond that there’s no additional benefit.

Psilocybin is safe and effective, right? Actually almost everything we think we know comes from carefully screened subjects in clinical trials, but does that generalize? We published a preprint of the first results from CO and OR healing centers. See it here: medrxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Dr. Fauci is a hero. He really is. He helped guide America thru a mass death event. Millions more could have died but they did not, thanks to him. Everyone over 70 owes him a debt. It is disgusting that we live in a country that not only dishonors him but actively smears his good name.

While we’re talking about The Odyssey, may I recommend Daniel Mendelsohn’s An Odyssey, an incredibly moving tale of fathers and sons through the lens of Homer. Reading it while sailing in Greece with my son, and also missing my father, was without question, my best experience with a book ever.
