Developing evidence-based psychedelic treatments demands more than current RCT-based drug approval norms 🧪🧠📈

In this invited review I elucidate why and point a new path forward: #EvidentialPluralism with utmost care to avoid the #ExtrapolationFallacy

@pessoabrain.bsky.social talks to @wiringthebrain.bsky.social, @aliyarumana.bsky.social and Peter Ulric Tse about the need for neuroscience’s traditional mechanistic framework to give way to a richer understanding of how brains generate behavior.

Academics are under unrelenting pressure to accept the narrative of the inevitability of #generativeAI & to embrace it in teaching & learning. We resist - because it is ecologically destructive, ethically corrupt, & because it undermines the thinking abilities that make us both human & intelligent.

Opinion: We are lecturers in Trinity College Dublin. It is our responsibility to resist AI

Even if all the known issues were magically resolved, we would still not want our students to use GenAI

Billionaires

Could be leading towards an era of unprecedented prosperity, equanimity and peace

Instead, they're dragging us through wars, towards rupturing all planetary boundaries and making human life on earth much harder, for centuries

Massive failure

Amazing. Searching this text led me to his 2020 The crisis in neuroscience. What's the 2024 reference, please?

No @theguardian.com. Wildfires takes hundreds of millions of lives.

But if only humans count, you can understand why no more serious measures are taken about it...

Humanity seems to be clearly loosing it. Wildfires all around and instead of global diplomatic pact and economic measures for environment and planetary cooperation, it's old style arms race, wars and genocide. Desperating...
