About

Automatically translated from German

Three experts discuss the darker aspects of psychedelics and their societal implications. The panel explores spiritual self-aggrandisement and charismatic power structures, the appropriation of psychedelic experiences by right-wing movements, and connections to transhumanism and self-optimisation ideologies of tech elites. The event is held in German.
