Data di messa in onda: Set 05, 2018

Is there a role for psychedelics such as LSD and psilocybin in healthc“” of international research and discusses what psychedelic drugs may teach us about the mind, human consciousness and their potential effect on our future lives. Watch the Q&A: https://youtu.be/JUAa14kQpmQ Michael Pollan is a bestselling author of books on human nature and nutrition, famously the 'Omnvivore's Dilemma'. In mid-life, he turned his attention to one of the most intriguing stories of the 20th century; the scientific promise and cultural burial of psychedelic research and its renaissance today in the public conversation around mental health, palliative care, addictive behaviours and a loss of personal meaning and connection in modern societies. This talk and Q&A session was filmed in the Ri on 11 June 2018. --- A very special thank you to our Patreon supporters who help make these videos happen, especially: Ashok Bommisetti, Avrahaim Chein, bestape, Elizabeth Greasley, Greg Nagel, Lester Su, Rebecca Pan, Robert D Finrock and Will Knott. --- The Ri is on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheRoyalInstitution and Twitter: http://twitter.com/ri_science and Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/royalinstitution and Tumblr: http://ri-science.tumblr.com/ Our editorial policy: http://www.rigb.org/home/editorial-policy Subscribe for the latest science videos: http://bit.ly/RiNewsletter Product links on this page may be affiliate links which means it won't cost you any extra but we may earn a small commission if you decide to purchase through the link.
