Wild interview with Krystle Cole, the maker of the very popular Youtube videos about psychedelics on her Neurosoup channel. Krystle lived in the infamous missile silo that manufactured most of the planet’s LSD around the millennium up to the time of the Pickard bust. She shares some very captivating and jaw dropping stories about exotic poly-psychedelic drug and sex debauchery, paranoid snitches and the dark world of megalomaniacal dealers using psychedelics as instruments of torture.
A Must See for anyone interested in the complex and controversial Pickard affair:

After reading this lovely review by David Jay Brown of Honor Thy Daughter, I’m definitely adding this to my reading list.
An exquisite 8 minute documentary-style interview with Nick Sand, the chemical revolutionary who synthesized the renowned Orange Sunshine and was the first person to discover the effects of DMT could be experienced by smoking it.
Apple founder and tech visionary Steve Jobs died on Wednesday. Jobs was heavily influenced by 1960s counterculture, and once told a reporter that taking LSD was “one of the two or three most important things” he did in his life. Can LSD really make you more creative?
Thousands of letters and papers from Ginsberg, Aldous Huxley, William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, Ken Kesey, Charles Mingus, Maynard Ferguson, Arthur Koestler, G. Gordon Liddy and even Cary Grant — an enthusiastic LSD user — are in the boxes.
“How about contributing to my next prose masterpiece by sending me (as you sent Burroughs) a bottle of SM pills,” Kerouac wrote Leary, referring to psilocybin. “Allen said I could knock off a daily chapter with 2 SMs and be done with a whole novel in a month.”

This is a TEDx presentation given by my favorite scholar of the rhetoric of biochemistry and post-vital living, Richard Doyle, about the importance of developing our conceptions of the noösphere.
Currently I’m reading his newest scholarly book concerning his ecodelic hypotheses about archaic and contemporary psychedelic media technologies, Darwin’s Pharmacy: Sex, Plants, and the Evolution of the Noösphere.
Very nice, recent 5 minute interview with legendary DJ and saddhu Goa Gil. Video is from the Goa Hippy Tribe project which has been working on making a documentary about the past 40 years psychedelic Goa culture.

“In recent years, the field of quantum information science has catapulted to the cutting edge of physics. Long before the big budgets and dedicated teams, however, the field smoldered on the scientific sidelines within the hazy, bong-filled excesses of the 1970s New Age movement. Many of the ideas that now occupy the core of quantum information science once found their home amid an anything-goes counterculture frenzy, a mishmash of spoon-bending psychics, Eastern mysticism, LSD trips, CIA spooks chasing mind-reading dreams, and comparable “Age of Aquarius” enthusiasts.”
