Mobile phones betray the limits of your brain's ability to construct its model of the world in the absence of sensory inputs... Whilst your brain has rather coarse-grained high level models of mobile phones (which is why you *can* have dreams containing phones), it struggles to replicate the low-level detailed functionalities that require a constant stream of visual sensory data... For example, the output of the calculator app, typing/sending messages, navigating between apps and other functions are all dependent on complicated processes that occur under the hood of the phone that your brain can't replicate... This is why using a phone in a dream will usually be extremely frustrating -- nothing behaves as you expect or as it should. A lot of the pieces will be there but they will be garbled and endlessly confusing... As I discuss on Rogan here, this is a good reality test for lucid dreaming. If your phone is working as it should, you're almost certainly not dreaming...

The term 'ontological shock' is often used to describe the emotional response to an experience that collides with our basic assumptions about the nature of reality... In this account, one of two previously-unpublished reports from Rick Strassman's 1990s DMT study that I present in Death by Astonishment, one of his subjects is hurled into a reality so utterly and horrifying alien that it seemed to send him into a state of actual physical shock with his vital signs suddenly and markedly plummeting a few minutes after the DMT was administered...

Ants perform surgery on injured nestmates depending on the site of injury... So, this morning I'm chatting with Peter Boghossian about insectoid aliens operating on DMT users and then this incredible paper pops up on my feed (thanks to Graham Hancock): Ants inspect the leg injury of a fellow ant and decide on the appropriate treatment: - Amputation if the injury is at the upper leg (femur) to prevent the spread of infection (which increases the survival rate of the ant). - Wound care by applying a variety of antimicrobial compounds that reduce pathogen load if the injury is at the lower leg (tibia). In other words: Insect surgery. (The first recorded example of surgery performed by non-humans). (The video shows the yellow-marked ant having its leg amputated by another ant). Full paper:

DMTx to endo-DMTx? The extended-state DMTx technology has the potential to transform mental health therapies and massively expand the reaches of our exploration of DMT realms. But what if we could eliminate external substances and needles entirely, harnessing instead our body’s own endogenous DMT production machinery? We’ve known since the 1950s that DMT naturally occurs in human blood and cerebrospinal fluid. Recent research shows that DMT levels in mammalian brains rival key neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, suggesting it might play an essential role in brain function. Yet, we still have minimal understanding of how DMT production is regulated within the brain. Imagine being able to “hack” our endogenous DMT system—switching DMT production on and off at will, without invasive infusion methods. This is the future we call endo-DMTx... But, to get there, we must first pinpoint the internal mechanisms controlling endogenous DMT biosynthesis... (1/n)
