"Psychedelic Thinking and the Dawn of Homo Cyber" Since 1997, the Mind
States conferences and seminars have brought together renowned scientists,
researchers, artists, and musicians from all over the world to present
the latest findings in consciousness studies, with a particular focus
on altered states of consciousness.
At Mind States II, Lorenzo Hagerty brought the audience to its feet with his novel thoughts about "Psychedelic Thinking and the Dawn of Homo Cyber." This talk is presented below (in MP3 format) in its entirety. As is his custom, Lorenzo first prepares a written version of his talks, and then delivers the oral version from notes made from the written copy. Thus the written version and the oral version below may be slightly different. MP3
