#777: Psychedelics & VR as Scaffolding to Reach Altered States of Consciousness + Experiential Medicine + Latent Human Potentials
By Kent Bye
Interview with Cassandra Vieten about psychedelics, immersive technologies, and meditation as possible scaffolding for altered states and longer-term traits. The episode contributes a research-oriented framing of cyberdelic questions, while its discussion of future biological effects and experiential medicine should be treated as hypotheses or contextual claims rather than established results.
