Health Tech ’s Magic Wand: The Anti-Social Bent of Modern Medicine
BY MIKE MAGEE
In George Packer’s classic 2013 New Yorker article titled “Change the World: Silicon Valley transfers its slogans – and its money – to the realm of politics,” there is a passage worth a careful reread now a decade latter.
Packer shares an encounter with a 20-something techie critiquing his young colleagues who said, “Many see their social responsibility fulfilled by their businesses, not by social or political action. It’s remarkably convenient that they can achieve all their goals just by doing their start-up. They actually think that Facebook is going to be the panacea for many o...

My Most Intense Psychedelic Journey So Far
I blocked off Friday evening for another magic mushroom journey. For the two experiences last month, I used about 1.5g of dried mushrooms each time. This time I opted to take 4.2g, eating the dried mushrooms plain, starting at 5pm. I trust my intuition regarding how much to take, figuring this much could invite a fairly intense experience.

It really started kicking in after about 40 minutes. I put on an eye mask and laid back on the couch while listening to music. It flowed nicely at first with lots of red-orange...

5 Signs You Are Sabotaging Your Inner Peace
Image by Anthony Tran on Unsplash
According to the United Nations (UN), nearly one billion people worldwide deal with mental health issues. Experts have tried to pinpoint the reasons, with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) blaming a combination of childhood trauma, medical factors, biological brain imbalances, alcohol or drug use, and emotions.
In layman's terms, it could all boil down to a lack of inner peace.
The Bible defines inner peace as peace achieved in communion with God through Jesus Christ. To Buddhists, it is "an awakening to an ultimate inseparability between our own well-being...
