They're doing hasbara about the deaths/hostages from the rave right next to Gaza, saying it was a "peace festival"

Yeah sure, tell me that this is not just a generic rave held right next to an open air prison without any acknowledgement of that fact.

Congrats! :) That's really cool. I know two people that went back to school for music after getting a bachelors degree in an unrelated field, neither of them regret it.

 

The conversation about "the cartels" has always been dumb, but this just takes it all a step further, painting the image that all crime is committed by members of a single organization that you can actually go to war against.

Abstract

Background and Aims

While many scholars have called attention to similarities between the earlier SSRI hype and the ongoing hype for psychedelic medications, the rhetoric of psychedelic hype is tinged with utopian and esoteric aspirations that have no parallel in the discourse surrounding SSRIs or other antidepressants. This utopian discourse provides insight into the ways that global tech elites are instrumentalizing both psychedelics and artificial intelligence (AI) as tools in a broader world-building project that justifies increasing material inequality. If realized, this project would undermine the use of both tools for prosocial and pro-environmental outcomes.

Methods

My argument develops through rhetorical analysis of the ways that industry leaders envision the future of medicalized psychedelics in their public communications. I draw on examples from media interviews, blog posts, podcasts, and press releases to underscore the persuasive strategies and ideological commitments that are driving the movement to transform psychedelics into pharmaceutical medications.

Results

Counterfactual efforts to improve mental health by increasing inequality are widespread in the psychedelics industry. These efforts have been propelled by an elitist worldview that is widely-held in Silicon Valley. The backbone of this worldview is the TESCREAL bundle of ideologies, which describes an interrelated cluster of belief systems: transhumanism, Extropianism, singularitarianism, cosmism, Rationalism, Effective Altruism, and longtermism.

Conclusions

This article demonstrates that TESCREALism is a driving force in major segments of the psychedelic pharmaceutical industry, where it is influencing the design of extractive systems that directly contradict the field's world-healing aspirations. These findings contribute to a developing subfield of critical psychedelic studies, which interrogates the political and economic implications of psychedelic medicalization.

Hexbear is sorely lacking communities for every individual model of car, every Anglophone town with a population over 20k, and every esoteric combination of dietary restrictions (e.g. VeganKetoLowFODMAPIntermittentFastingGainIt)

No, Amber just doesn't understand that this is about me.
