Psychedelics, interdisciplinary and broadly construed. Meditation. Things that change the way you think and give you weird and interesting experience.
A great distillation. No one is in charge.
Trump has told four different journalists completely contradictory things about his aims. It's going to be over in three days or four weeks... it's about regime change but he also wants to start talks again with the current regime...he's killed all the possible replacement leaders... Total chaos.

Symptom management of this is crucial specifically study epistemology and rationality.
The DSM-5TR’s diagnostic criteria for McKenna Syndrome 🤔
1) Quiet observer but an occasional Harm reduction volunteer and general multidisciplinary enthusiast of psychs and meditation. 2) Someone employ me or mentor me to do psychedelic research with them (have undergrad psychology) 😂 3) The Wire/palgrave Phil of psychoactive substances
