Maria Velkova, managing partner of Tabula Rasa Ventures, discusses the use of psychedelics in therapy and the work her organization is doing to support the space. She explains that psychedelic-assisted therapy is a novel care delivery model that combines traditional therapy with the use of psychedelic medicines. Velkova emphasizes the efficacy of these therapies, particularly for veterans who have high unmet needs. She also discusses the history of psychedelics and the negative connotations associated with them, as well as the current shift towards acceptance and understanding. The conversation explores the impact of psychedelics on the healthcare ecosystem and the potential for personalized, holistic, and disease-modifying approaches to mental health care. The conversation explores the role of money and investment in the psychedelic industry, the potential approval of MDMA-assisted therapy by the FDA, and the challenges and stigma surrounding psychedelic research and therapy. It emphasizes the need for capital to scale and provide broad patient access to innovative therapies.
As we await the FDA's decision on MDMA-assisted therapy, Maria shares promising Phase 3 trial results and discusses the broader applications of these treatments beyond veterans. Stay informed about the evolving landscape of psychedelic science, and gather valuable resources for further learning, including peer-reviewed journals and insightful platforms like Psychedelic Alpha and Double Blind. Maria also shares her top book recommendation, "The Myth of Normal" by Gabor Mate, and the impactful initiatives of Tabula Rasa and Energia, leaving us with a sense of hope and excitement for the future of mental health care.

Can the war on drugs be responsible for the stigmatization of psychedelic therapies? Join us as we unravel the deep-seated impact of 1980s media and government campaigns on Generation X's perception of drugs, and how it contrasts with the evolving acceptance of psychedelics today. From Miami Vice to DARE, we navigate through a labyrinth of mixed messages, revealing the geopolitical motives behind the war on drugs and its ramifications on public opinion. Hear our candid recollections and firsthand stories that shed light on the intricate relationship between authority, control, and substance narratives.
Our guest, Jesse Gould, takes us on a compelling journey from skepticism to healing through psychedelic therapy. Initially influenced by the anti-drug sentiment of the 'Dare' era, Jesse opens up about his transformative experience with ayahuasca in Peru. This profound encounter not only alleviated his post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTS) but also inspired him to create the Heroic Hearts Project, a beacon of hope for fellow veterans. Discover the multiple-hit hypothesis and how individual backgrounds shape trauma responses, underscoring the need for personalized approaches in treating PTS.
Explore the emerging landscape of psychedelic therapy for veterans, including the financial hurdles and ethical considerations that come with it. We discuss the groundbreaking support from high-ranking military officials and the Department of Veterans Affairs, emphasizing the collective mission to revolutionize mental health treatment. From the strategic rebranding of psychedelics to the community-driven efforts to support veterans, this episode highlights the pivotal shift in perceptions and policies that promise transformative potential for those in need.

Learn how psychedelics can foster creativity and openness, improving problem-solving abilities and facilitating breakthrough innovations. We delve into how these altered states can transform organizational dynamics, enhance communication, and foster empathy, laying the groundwork for a more flexible and adaptive approach to complex systems.

Unlock the mysteries of the market's collective consciousness with 'pracademic' Patrick Skotanis, as we navigate the Market Mind Hypothesis, blending cognitive science with the rhythmic pulsations of financial markets. This episode promises a revolution in your understanding of economic agents, far from the usual depiction as emotionless automatons, and instead as components of a living, breathing organism. We bridge the gap between the pioneering ideas of John Boyd, Karl Friston, and George Soros, bringing a fresh perspective on how consciousness influences market behavior and investing decisions.
Feel the pulse of the stock market as if it were an extension of our very minds. Prices flicker not just with numerical data, but with the heartbeat of collective emotion and intelligence. We discuss how narratives—fueled by the works of Schiller and McCloskey—shape economic events and the profound implications of recognizing the market as an interconnected web of human consciousness. Patrick Schotanus eloquently weaves through the philosophical underpinnings of this view, challenging us to consider the market's moods and vibrations as more than metaphorical, but as real forces directing capital and research in the financial realm.
In this riveting episode, we don't just theorize; we examine the practical applications of treating markets as cognitive networks. Delving into the extended mind theory, we explore the symbiotic relationship between individual cognition and the market's collective intelligence, drawing parallels between neural activity and market dynamics. Patrick's insights offer a new lens through which to view not just economic phenomena but our role within the larger cognitive ecosystem. Join us for a conversation that transcends disciplinary boundaries and offers a tantalizing glimpse into the future of economic thought.
