1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 John and I sit down to talk about different types of knowledge, and how we decipher the world around us. We discuss Self-Deception, Flow States, Mystical Experience, and where we go to find Wisdom and Meaning in our lives. John is a professor of Cognitive Science and Psychology at the University of Toronto. He's also studied in Buddhism and Tai Chi. He hopes to organize a psilocybin micro-dosing study at the University, and he talks about the difficulties in his way when it comes to getting a study like that approved.&amp;nbsp; We really touch on a lot here, and John's passion and enthusiasm carries us through the conversation. It was a real pleasure for me to break down these ideas with him, so I hope everyone enjoys the chat as much as I did!&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Find John at his YouTube page:&amp;nbsp;https://www.youtube.com/user/johnvervaeke And his website:&amp;nbsp;http://johnvervaeke.com And his book on Zombies and the Meaning Crisis: https://www.openbookpublishers.com/product/602 &amp;nbsp; INSTAGRAM:&amp;nbsp;www.instagram.com/change.truth TWITTER: www.twitter.com/Change_Truth FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com/ChangeTruth &amp;nbsp; Intro song: &quot;Lovin' Your Neighbour&quot; by Phat Bollard Check Them out:&amp;nbsp;https://www.phatbollard.co.uk And buy their music!&amp;nbsp;https://phatbollard.bandcamp.com &amp;nbsp; More at www.changetruth.com&amp;nbsp;jj Change Truth http://www.changetruth.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/7433693/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/7433693
