## Resource

Carl Hayden Smith , founder of the Cyberdelic Nexus and Museum of Consciousness, discusses his concept of "hyperhumanism" as an alternative to the transhumanist agenda. The conversation covers how technology is reshaping human consciousness, the attention economy's impact on our minds, and practical approaches (including psychedelics) to becoming more human in an increasingly digital world. What You'll Learn About: 🌍 -- Where humanity stands with technology and what we're doing to other species 🧠 -- Why VR is "sensory deprivation" and how algorithms harvest consciousness through the "attention war" 🤖 -- Hyperhumanism vs Transhumanism - becoming more human vs. becoming post-human 🌱 -- Practical hyperhumanist practices: peripheral vision, psychogeography, advanced journaling techniques, and psychedelic journeying 🔬 -- DMT Extended State research - Carl's experiences with entities and the ethics of accessing transcendent realms ⚖️ -- Sacred vs recreational psychedelic use and why context is 80% of the medicine LINKS 📚 Carl's Papers: https://dblp.org/pid/s/CarlHSmith.html 🎤 Carl's Lectures: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3IfrpX8NGK7X2EdXj95KEWj_-TcrlKtZ 🌀 Website, Episode Show Notes, and More Links for Carl Video Episode 👈 FULL TOPICS BREAKDOWN AND TIMESTAMPS BELOW ...
