Mandela Effects, Ancestral Trauma, Smoked Trumpet Mushrooms, and Chemical Drama with Madeline Pointer

Ramble by the River

Local artist and longtime friend Madeline Pointer joins me for an enlightened discussion about the state of the world, the future of humanity and why it is so easy to fall in love a good salad.

I explain my findings regarding Elon Musk's plan for global domination, Madeline talks about the wild foraged ingredients you can find in local PNW cuisine. We bond over our common dopamine regulation deficiencies (ADHD). And we recount some of our finest memories from Ilwaco High School.

Topics include:

Is Elon Musk the antichrist?

What is the Mandela Effect and is it proof that we live in a simulation?

The surprising history of drugs like MDMA and Psilocybin.

Technologies that will define our future.

I really enjoyed making this episode. Madeline was a fantastic guest and I couldn't be more grateful for her candor, her humor, and most of all, her patience (it took me a long time to finish it).

Thanks for listening!
