alright I'm at work right now. my friend David gave this a shout out so I'm interested!! this channel's outline is fascinating! 

The default mode network. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXwLsba2 Jason Silva, Shots of Awe. There was a study that did brain scans on freestyle rappers. When they Rapped from a script with the words in front of them, Their default mode network would light up! Because they are simply trying to get the words right! But when they Rapped freestyle, their default mode ones shut down. They were essentially stepping out of their own way, where they weren't over thinking, where they weren't trying to correct themselves, they were simply tapping into their creative flow states and letting their creativity flow!! And apparently, Psilocybin shuts down our default mode network! It allows us to step out of our own way and take in whatever is around us, and bring about whatever is in us! Psilocybin acts as a neurochemical conductor enabling a symphony synchronizing us with the universe! As above so below, as within so without.

"It's a bit like going inside on a very intense internal therapy journey... but you're doing it on your own." - Dr. Ros Watts, Imperial College of London

In our launch episode, we talk to Dr. Watts and learn how psilocybin - also known as magic mushrooms -  may offer a promising alternative approach to prescription medication and therapy. Dr. Watts is the lead clinical psychologist at the Imperial College of London where she is part of a study that has been researching the effect of psilocybin on patients with treatment-resistant depression.

Special Thanks to Bernadette, Rebekah, Justin, Roland, David, Hannah, Nina, Dr. Watts, and UNMUTE for making this episode possible.
