Over and over the US inflicts obscene violence against the global South, in flagrant violation of international law, to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation for its decadent billionaire class. It's disgusting and intolerable. We cannot continue to accept this.

I think it's far worse, as LLMs get even simple calculator tasks as counting characters, ketter and words, wrong. They commit far more errors than calculators do. They're BS xerox and shuffle machines

I know from Latin American ritualistic and indigenous practices that it is clearly possible to manage informed consent for psychedelics in a way that resemble some of his arguments, in the sense that people don't need certainty about the future to autonomouly consent

I had this weird dream that people were asking each other for their new year wish, and when I said world peace, everyone went like nahhh that's unattainable, you gotta wish something realistic!

Then I woke up in a bad mood, but still wishing world peace...

The project groups philosophers and experts in causality and evidence assessments, so far unrelated to psychedelic research, with no conflicts of interest, to help address contentious epistemological and methodological issues in clinical trials with #psychedelics
