139 | Berserkers | Why We Do What We Do

Going berserk! We discuss the etymology of the term “berserk” and the possible history of the eponymous people. Their “weapon” may have been running into battle practically naked screaming their heads off. Long ago, a priest speculated that consuming a specific mushroom caused their crazed bloodlust. However, there is reason to believe that it wasn’t mushrooms but instead may have been the nightshade plant, Henbane, or a lot of alcohol, or neither of those things. Also, historians want you to know that the berserkers may have bitten their shields in battle for some reason. Some interesting psychology to unpack with berserkers!

134 | Psychedelics in Therapy With Stu Law (Part 1) | Why We Do What We Do

A skeptical but optimistic discussion about the use of psychedelic drugs for mental health. Stu and Abraham mostly unpack the history of psychedelics in this discussion. There are some jokes and light-heartedness, but the message is an important one. There are things to be excited about in the future of therapy with the assistance of psychedelics, but if we are not careful, then we might be plunged back in the dark ages of psychedelics for medicinal value.
