Abstract
While psychedelics’ psychotherapeutic uses are becoming better known, Thomas Roberts surveys some of their lesser known additions to the “House of Intellect” including: consilience, mind emergence, inventing paradigms, problem solving, experimental humanities, enhancing cognition and intellect, Grofian interpretations, multistate theory, solving financial impediments, inventing novel cognitive processes and mindbody states, mind apps and mind design.
