PODCAST 18: Clandestine Chromium Carbene Chemistry
Added 2021-05-01 23:08:18 +0000 UTCIn this podcast I interview a former organometallic chemist named Mike Roberts who conducted underground research on DMT, DET, DiPT, DOM, 2C-B, and mescaline while working as a graduate student at UCLA. After a year of continuous psychedelic use his studies ended when began to confuse reality with a dream. I've attached one of Mike Roberts chemistry publications below.

2022-02-13 18:58:30 +0000 UTCSeriously though, this guy is a textbook definition of enlightened. Definitely not a tragedy. Everything else is what’s a tragedy, but he ain’t even mad about it. Hamilton, your mixture of interviews, in one measure outsiders and eccentrics, and another of the elites of psychedelic hard science, is such a sweet and nourishing brew. I wish to extend profound gratitude for your work. Future generations will return here and recognise that something very important happened in the documentation of all this with such depth and compassion. I wish there was a way to support this guy somehow (and the “Steve Jobs acid guy”). A way to send him funds for more acid and books. Maybe you could set up and send them crypto wallets to which us listeners can tip them for their wisdom and generous stories? Even if they’ve transcended money themselves maybe they could still use it to help others or do more of their research somehow. Or just as a safety net. I’m scared to think what would happen to vulnerable people like this were they to end up on the wrong side of the corrupt American medical system.

2021-09-24 21:19:09 +0000 UTCDeafness is not solely restricted to "literally cannot hear anything". Many people with severe hearing deficiencies call themselves deaf (and are considered so legally) even if they can still hear to some small degree.
2021-09-05 12:07:09 +0000 UTCForgive me if this is offensive. But one thing that confuses me after listening to this. He mentions at a few points that he has been profoundly deaf from birth, and from the sound of his voice he does not have a cochlear implant or partial hearing. But he also talks about DMT and a movie making the same humming sound, phone calls, turning music down and up, resonance, and frequency. How does a deaf person know what a hum sounds like, talk on the phone, realize that music is playing to know to turn it off, or what resonance and frequency are on a deeper level than just understanding the definition of what they represent? I'm not calling bullshit on his experience, just wondering if my knowledge of deafness is incomplete, like for instance they can learn to hear with their hands in the same way that even hearing people can feel a speaker vibrating or loud bass with their feet.
