The TonearmDec 21

On today's new episode of The Tonearm Podcast, cultural anthropologist Graham St. John joins us to discuss his new biography Strange Attractor: The Hallucinatory Life of Terence McKenna. Drawing on interviews with over eighty people, original documents and letters, and rare photographs, St. John chronicles one of the most celebrated yet least understood figures of the late twentieth century.

We explore McKenna as a master bullshitter and serious philosopher, his role as an accidental psychopomp for multiple generations, the archaic revival concept, his ambivalent relationship with both Indigenous authorities and academic tribalism, his unexpected influence on rave culture and electronic music, and why there will never be another Terence McKenna.

Als jemand mit #Aphantasia, heißt, dass ich im Wachzustand keine bildliche Fantasie habe, würde doch gerne mal #Psychedelika wie #DMT, #LSD und #Psilocybin ausprobieren. Mit #Cannabis habe ich, bis auf tiefe philosophische Erlebnisse, leider noch keine rosa Elefanten gesehen.

🚀🧠 Ah, the Journal of Neuroscience's latest opus: apparently, tripping on #DMT makes your sense of self go *poof*! 🌀 Who knew that the key to self-dissolution was just a psychedelic voyage away? 🤯👽 Scientists, always on the cutting edge of the *blindingly obvious*.

DMT-induced shifts in criticality correlate with self-dissolution

Psychedelics profoundly alter subjective experience and brain dynamics. Brain oscillations express signatures of near-critical dynamics, relevant for healthy function. Alterations in the proximity to criticality have been suggested to underlie the experiential and neurological effects of psychedelics. Here, we investigate the effects of a psychedelic substance (DMT) on the criticality of brain oscillations, and in relation to subjective experience, in humans of either sex. We find that DMT shifts the dynamics of brain oscillations away from criticality in alpha and adjacent frequency bands. In this context, entropy is increased while complexity is reduced. We find that the criticality shifts observed in alpha and theta bands correlate with the intensity ratings of self-dissolution, a hallmark of psychedelic experience. Finally, using a recently developed metric, the functional excitatory-inhibitory ratio, we find that the DMT-induced criticality shift in brain oscillations is towards subcritical regimes. These findings have major implications for the understanding of psychedelic mechanisms of action in the human brain and for the neurological basis of altered states of consciousness. Significance statement Criticality is characterized by fluctuations occurring on a wide range of spatiotemporal scales and high complexity. Here, we investigate the effects of DMT, a classic psychedelic, on criticality of brain oscillations and in relation to subjective experience. We find that DMT shifts the normally dominant alpha oscillations towards a quieter subcritical state, increasing entropy while reducing complexity, and that this shift correlates with intensity of disruption of the sense of self.

Was it #DMT Or was it #heaven
So, how about a respectful discussion. Honestly, what do really know about life. There's a tombstone in Guthrie, Oklahoma that simply says, "I was not a smart man, but now I know one thing you don't." Maybe? knows nothing.
Interesting podcast.

Altered States

When a neurosurgeon claimed he glimpsed the afterlife during a coma, skeptics offered a more earthly interpretation – a surge of DMT produced by his own body. Was his tale of eternity a trick of the brain, or a window into something science can’t explain?
