Andrés Gómez Emilsson is a consciousness mathematician at the
Qualia Research Institute, and he's back for round two of ranking
altered states of consciousness by sheer intensity. He and Evan
spend two hours ranking every substance and practice they can
think of — arguing that ibogaine may be the most ethically urgent
drug on Earth, that a hardcore meditation retreat can rival
5-MeO-DMT, and that an obscure nootropic produces psychedelic
visuals through a mechanism nobody understands.

Expect to learn why ibogaine seems to "scan" your whole nervous
system instead of hitting one receptor, how advanced jhana
meditation can go toe-to-toe with 5-MeO-DMT in depth, why
ordinary DMT produces far more alien entity encounters than its
"stronger" cousin, the topology behind why feeling like God and
feeling like there's no self are almost the same state, why
cannabis's real danger isn't addiction but a specific
schizophrenia risk in young men, how combining LSD and ketamine
produces "freewheeling hallucinations" you can consciously
direct, why mescaline might be the best nootropic for doing
actual math yet never caught on, and where MDMA, salvia, and a
little-known nootropic called coluracetam land on the scale, and
much more…
