The billionaires have a plan to keep you calm and happy in their future fascist dystopia. Drugs. It's a brave new world all over again...don't miss this conversation ⬇️

We profile Christian Angermayer — the billionaire behind Enhanced Games, Compass Pathways, and Atai Life Sciences. A friend of Peter Thiel, he argues psychedelics can help society “adjust” to the tech-driven dystopia he and his circle are building. youtu.be/7cSc4WHM-D0

Here is a link to the full interview:

We sat down with @janembrigham.bsky.social of @theneedle.media to discuss her recent article: "Ambetter Insurance, Centene denying hormones to trans patients across 19 states in push for MAHA Medicine."

"The majority of people...know there might be no place for them in the world let's say we, the tech elite, are building." -Christian Angermayer, billionaire psychedelic investor @gilduran.com @techwontsave.us @majorityreport.bsky.social

I helped write this response from SSDP to the Dear Colleague letters by SAMHSA last month. People who use drugs deserve more. Every pause in care carries risk and every barrier to harm reduction/treatment could be the difference of life or death. Give it a read here: ssdp.org/blog/samhsa-...

Do elites want to use psychedelics to pacify social unrest? Bryan Johnson pitches psychedelics as a way for humans to keep up with AI and Christian Angermayer pitches psychedelics as the treatment for societal "adjustment disorder." youtube.com/shorts/2wfes...

Hamilton's Pharma Cope, Part 1: "DEA Informants" Available Now youtu.be/-yi9iQ4yNcM

Psymposia developed a primer on the psychedelic industry for leftists in response to Donald Trump‘s April 18 Executive Order, which accelerates review of psychedelic drugs deemed “Breakthrough Therapies” and makes Schedule 1 drugs more accessible under Right to Try laws.

Just waking up to the right-wing influence in the psychedelic industry? Psymposia’s team has been reporting on this for 8 years. Check out our back catalogue to get up to speed.

Andrew Callaghan helped spread egregious misinformation about our organization and incited his audience to "destroy" us in retaliation for drawing attention to SA in psychedelic therapy.

I wrote about my time in Minneapolis last week, about what is involved in creating bottom-up, decentralized networks of care. margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/our-neighb...

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Check it out! I spoke with @cheetos.bsky.social of Psymposia about Moonflow, and the intersection of psychedelics, transness and ritual magic that informed my writing! I ramble a lot with BIG HIPPIE THOUGHTS in this XD

Stoked to publish my conversation with author @bitterkarella.bsky.social! We discuss their debut novel "Moonflow," their micro-fiction and text adventure projects, psychedelic mushrooms, writing queer and trans horror stories, ritual magic and more. 🍄🧟‍♂️🧛‍♂️⚰️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=einh...

Haven't been able to stop thinking about this talk I attended over the weekend on HIV criminalization in the US. Some takeaways below...

My hot take on the Bryan Johnson 🍄 stream is that Grimes weird dream jazz and video game DJ set is…fine actually. The rest has been profoundly boring.

There's so much content to work through here that we wrote a 201-page report about it... Guest appearances in our report also include Hamilton Morris and Genevieve Jurvetson. www.psymposia.com/psychedelic-...

Just learning how ridiculous the psychedelic/Silicon Valley crossover has gotten? We wrote a long-form report on the financial influences and ideological crossovers between the industries here: www.psymposia.com/psychedelic-...

This graph hits different after reading Psymposia’s “Psychedelic Syndicate” report.

It’s really good so far. Reading it on my camping trip right now 🖤🏕️

In an email to the Psychedelic Communications Hub on June 18, 2024—2 weeks after the FDA advisory committee voted against approving Lykos' MDMA aplication—Robyn Thomas enlisted the Hub’s support for a “Crisis Communications Plan” covering the lead-up to the FDA’s ultimate approval or rejection. 1/7

Between 2023-2024, the Wall Street Journal reported on the drug use of Elon Musk and his inner circle. This reporting revealed that some Tesla + SpaceX directors were “concerned” about Musk’s use of “cocaine, ecstasy, LSD…magic mushrooms” + “particularly his recreational use of ketamine.” 1/7

This video provides context about the scale of forces that sought to discredit us for whistleblowing at FDA. We were targeted by a coordinated PR campaign (funded by key funders of MAPS/Lykos' MDMA clinical trials) that included firms representing Lykos, PSFC & Heroic Hearts.
