In this episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," Joe Rogan talks with Rick Strassman about his new book, "My Altered States," which explores trauma, psychedelics, and spiritual growth. They discuss intriguing archaeological discoveries in Alaska, the nature of subjective experiences, and the impact of trauma on gene expression. The conversation touches on the complexities of humility, arranged marriages, and the role of psychedelics in personal insight and healing. Strassman argues that psychedelics are tools for exploring the mind, not cures, and raises significant discussions on consciousness, AI, and the integration of technology with human evolution.
