Every two weeks I call my friend, science writer John Horgan, and we spend an hour talking about anything that’s on our minds: the topics often include psychedelics, science, politics, art, and the fundamental weirdness of the human condition. I then post the conversations on Youtube and on a podcast feed.
For this issue of Psypol, I transcribed a part from our latest chat where we touch, once again, on the notion that ideas may be alive, and speculate what kind of morality can be developed from that premise.
I also added a few wholly unrelated sketches as illustrations.
As always, I invite you to join the conversation in the comments or by emailing me nikita.s.petrov@gmail.com.
