Sam Harris: Can Psychedelics Help You Expand Your Mind?

Sam Harris: Can Psychedelics Help You Expand Your Mind?

enoch says...

these are the instances where harris always shines in my opinion.everyone should experience psychedelics at least once in their life,and as harris pointed out,there are caveats but it is so worth it.

the dissolving of the ego can be frightening for some but it can bring you to a truth,about yourself and others,that is quite hard to accomplish without assistance.

i find it interesting that this video is going to be sifted while trances video on the healing nature of psychedelics has been downvoted.

ah sift...you are a fickle mistress.

I got hooked on Vice ever since watching Shane Smith doing coverage on North Korean labor camps in Russia (http://www.vice.com/vice-news/north-korean-labor-camps-full-length). This guy always seemed to know what was going on and what kind of games the people were trying to play on him, despite him coming from a non-native culture. I've never seen a Westerner fully understand the intricate socio-political games the locals play except for Shane Smith (http://www.vice.com/the-vice-guide-to-travel/vice-guide-to-north-korea-1-of-3).

Not even Lisa Ling, who is of Asian descent, was able to fully grasp what the North Koreans were thinking or behaving a certain way when in front of a camera. The documentary she did on North Korea really lacked fundamental understanding of North Korean life and focused on sensationalist stuff. It was really disgusting (http://youtu.be/A_268_pBvPs). Shane on the other hand focuses more on how power and economy works in the given environment. He sees the situation from multiple angles, identifies where the motive is coming from, rather than just taking in everything as fact (which most of young Vice correspondents does), then starts playing the game with the locals. The man really is intelligent.


I've read a NYTimes article about Shane Smith some time ago wanting to be a playboy millionaire like Tom Freston lol (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/19/fashion/19upclose.html?pagewanted=all)

Also there's a whole Vice episode about the company and Shane Smith's background. I'm watching it right now (http://www.vice.com/spike-spends-saturday-with/shane-smith-part-1)

In reply to this comment by geo321:
They go out of their way to do edgy topics though. I think you're right a bunch of the docs I've watched from them have gone nowhere. Like they gave an ambitious person a camera and said "Go!" . But more than not they do good docs. My biggest problem with Vice is their site is shit and they haven't figured out how they want to distribute their content online. They DCMA other people posting their stuff pretty quickly but don't post their own stuff themselves in a good way if at all. I heard the owner himself say his website is shit. The new youtube channel isn't very good either. My impression is that he doesn't care, but maybe it's just him becoming a billionaire and the documentary side of his empire not being a priority.
