Thomas B. Roberts, PhD - "Envisioning The Psychedelic Future Of The Mind"
Daniel Pinchbeck interviews Thomas B. Roberts, PhD. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Roberts, author of The Psychedelic Future of the Mind and MindApps, among other books. Now 85 years old, Roberts became involved with the psychedelic movement way back in the late 1960s / early 70s. He attended seminars and conferences with Alan Watts, Stan Grof, and many other luminaries. For many years, he taught the only university course on the topic of psychedelics to be found in the US, at Northwestern Illinois University. I found it fascinating to get his perspective on the current psychedelic renaissance, which he thought would happen a long time ago! Thomas B.

Bernardo Kastrup, PhD
Daniel Pinchbeck interviews Bernardo Kastrup, PhD. Kastrup is an author, philosopher, and director of the Essentia Foundation.
