PT381 – Dr. Andrew R. Gallimore – DMT, Hierarchies of Complexity, and Reality Switch Technologies

In this episode, Joe interviews Dr. Andrew R. Gallimore: computational neurobiologist, chemical pharmacologist, researcher, and writer of "Alien Information Theory: Psychedelic Drug Technologies and the Cosmic Game."

His hope for his newest book, "Reality Switch Technologies: Psychedelics as Tools for the Discovery and Exploration of New Worlds," is that it will be the quintessential guide for how psychedelics work in the brain from all levels of organization, what happens when you perturb the brain, and the future: how we might be able to fine-tune our brains to access different realities at will.

He discusses the element of design used in his books; why understanding something as complex as DMT is a multidisciplinary practice; the genius of Terence McKenna; what "Alien Information Theory" was about; his work with Rick Strassman in researching intravenous infusion DMT pumps to keep someone in the DMT verse; Conway’s game of life and the unpredictable levels of complexity that can arise from simple rules; lucid dreaming; John Mack, alien abductees, and trusting a patient's experiences as real; psilocybin yeast; and much more.
