Hey everybody! Episode 183 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Thoryn Stephens. Thoryn is the CEO and founder of Brain.One which is doing really interesting work in human optimization. We sat down and spoke about his life, how, as a young man, he came across huachuma in Ecuador and how that had a transformative impact on him, various other plant medicines, consciousness, BCI and AI, his work as a molecular biologist, and the future of technology. It was a really interesting conversation, and I think Thoryn has a lot of wisdom and insights to share.
