Hey ho, I wrote about the similarities between 5-MeO and samadhi for Qualia Research Institute after sitting on my thoughts for a few years, tentatively querying whether it may have a helpful role to play in accelerated contemplative development. Maybe! Linked below.

Calling all the strongest London Qualia Research Institute soldiers! On June 20 I'm running a meetup with a pub* quiz on QRI-related topics: psychedelics, consciousness, philosophy of mind, etc. Hang out afterwards! The link is in the next tweet. * not actually held in a pub; come to Newspeak House

The London Qualia Research Institute community meetup is in 2 days on June 20. Come for a pub quiz on consciousness / psychedelics / philosophy of mind or just to hang out. 30 RSVPs currently. The link is in the quoted thread.

QRI Schelling point at Psychedelic Science 2025 - Andrew Gallimore and Clusterbusters, Inc. logging in :-)

Just interviewed Bob Wold, Joe Stone, and Joe McKay from Clusterbusters, Inc. about using DMT for aborting cluster headaches. Bottom line: they all agree DMT is especially good and an improvement over LSD and psilocybin for a number of reasons. Will upload the interview once we clean

What binds experience into a unified mind, cells into bodies and symbols into meaning? I joined Captain Pleasure, Andrés Gómez Emilsson and Michael Levin to discuss cognitive glue, nonlinear optics, and the agency of informational patterns. Watch the video here: youtu.be/0BVM0UC28nY?si… Hosted by

Chris Percy and I representing Qualia Research Institute at The Science of Consciousness conference in Barcelona. Lots of great conversations about ontologies in fundamental physics and their relevance for consciousness research. (Paper forthcoming in the Journal of Consciousness Studies soon!)

Do you ever think about what you could do to reduce the amount of extreme suffering in the world? Not just yours? If not, why not? Could you spend 5 minutes on this question? If not, where does the resistance come from? Are you curious about that resistance?

Qualia researchers, enthusiasts, and havers: QRI will be in Paris, France next week and will be hosting a small meetup on July 16th between 12:00 and 18:00 (location TBD). Andres will be demoing our tactile sensation visualization tool, so come check it out!

QRI London Meetup August 3rd at 5PM: lu.ma/mmjwfq5e Don't miss it - I'll be presenting the cutting edge of QRI research! :D Many thanks to curious irrationalist {100/100 longformish things} for organizing it 🙏😊❤️
