Those linking trauma to their difficulties were MORE likely to have used psychedelics in guided/facilitated settings.
The authors ask, could these memories be "implanted...while they are in suggestible psychedelic states, by guides or therapists overly invested in the 'trauma catharsis' theory"?

Story now updated w/ the answer:

"Three sources close to Pazdur told STAT that concerns about the legality of a new drug review program, Makary and Prasad inserting themselves into drug review decisions, and Makary’s efforts to handpick hires for CDER contributed to Pazdur’s decision to leave."

I'll continue to be "I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win"-posting, so figure I should address this point that seems to come up every so often

Q: "is it still 'winning' if only *some* good things happen in the near term instead of total planetary eco socialist revolution?"

A: yes

A college student complaining about a grade on a paper is not national news. Not even close. The details have minimal import outside the class itself.

Well-funded political activists targeting profs and TAs—in this case because they're trans—with the help of elected state officials? National issue.

I'm about three months late to this, but I read it today, and after a term of teaching students to care with their lives about reading, and writing (and feeling, and experiencing, and creating) it hit really hard. Every single line.

OOF. That was quite a rabbit hole to go down. I used to be super interested and passionate about psychedelic research a while back, but had no idea how much the reactionary techbro influence had infected that space just like it's infecting everything else. (Can't say I'm too surprised though.)

Spent the past 2h looking into Neşe's claims and I have to report that I can mostly support them :(

You might disagree with Neşe's bioethical framework.
The following hate campaign launched by Hamilton and Andrew against them is disgusting beyond words.

Lots more details in this thread.

Thank you for looking into this & giving me the opportunity to provide information.

I can email you a PDF if you DM me how to reach you.

Responding to your other post - I'll do my best to explain multiple topics concisely. In the Ch5 vid, he references my abusive ex, whose full comments clearly reveal that he is in psychosis. He became psychotic while I was with him, during a period of intensive psychedelic & amphetamine use. (1/5)

Feel free to DM if you have other questions, I just posted a short thread in response to the earlier one.

Hamilton has used selective framing to dehumanize me, assuming people won't know enough about the actual situation to question his narrative. It's like the smear campaign about Hasan Piker shocking his dog. But the FDA finally backed us up: adverse events were not reported at multiple sites. (5/5)

Response to Veronika Gold’s Letter to the Editor Published in The American Journal of Bioethics (Vol. 25, No. 9, 2025)

My analysis of this was vetted by the editorial board at a leading bioethics journal, The American Journal of Bioethics. Veronika Gold's request for corrections was denied. (4/5) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Re: Veronika Gold, she was not just describing a method of using touch to reenact assault in ketamine therapy. This method came from the MDMA trials, and it was written into the study protocol. My friend was abused through this method; the therapists told her the assault was exposure therapy. (3/5)

This ex emptied my bank account (I had a small child) and told me my purpose in life was to submit to him. I was also SA'd in the psychedelic industry, 1st by Daniel Pinchbeck & later by a trusted underground mentor. These experiences informed my recognition that psychedelics can be dangerous. (2/5)

Thanks for saying so - rape culture is unfortunately prominent in the psychedelic industry. Hamilton has been taking advantage of his parasocial fandom to smear those of us who are trying to address it. Tbh the obsessiveness & vitriol make me wonder if he has his own skeletons in his closet.

In brief, the Callaghan video included blaming a woman for SA by a shaman & selectively quoting a DV abuser to harm the victim. That victim (me) had been working to support a friend who was assaulted in a MDMA clinical trial, which he falsely claimed I lied about. He incited his followers against me

I know a lot of footage and commentary is swirling about today but it’s important to convey that the people who gathered outside that ICE garage in lower Manhattan were *so* ten toes down focused.

This person who gets maced and just calmly flips the bird & keeps going is *quintessential.*

this! we walked right into this

PSA for those who are just tuning into the psychedelic oligarchy clown car:

Hamilton Morris spent the last year harassing victims and minimizing sexual assault by psychedelic facilitators on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry.

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:

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.
