* Article: Positive Sum Worlds: Remaking Public Goods
"So while crypto protocols may qualify as public goods in the economic sense, where in these conversations is discussion of what's good for the public? Some of the crypto community's stated ambitions are to solve mass coordination problems, build post-national forms of sovereignty, and level the global playing field. But to create a majestic and egalitarian society requires a more expansive vision of public goods than what can be imagined with economics alone."

Psychedelics cause visual tracers.
THC causes short term memory tracers.
MDMA causes emotional tracers.
Dissociatives cause spatial tracers.
It's all tracers, man.*
--+++--
*To a first approximation. And also it's not all tracers. There are really non-trivial things besides tracers. But tracers are an obvious low hanging fruit first step to characterize these states.

Mount St. Helens erupts in 1980. Steve Firth, a friend of the man who took this photo had the following to say:
“...That Pinto and dirt bike belonged to a good friend of mine and when he stopped to turn around, he took this picture.
He told me that there was lightning bolts shooting out of the smoke but he didn’t have the right filter on his camera to capture them at that moment. The picture could have been even more amazing.
It was used on the TV news and used to be on the cover of Mt. St. Helens brochure at the Johnston Observatory / visitor center.
He gave me an original 8×10 copy of it although it looked like he was a good distance away from the blast, he barely made it out of there alive.
Had the blast came more in his direction he would have died in seconds. Sometime later he returned and photographed a burned-out pickup with a horse trailer attached to it.
He told me he had talked to them that day and said they never made it out.
He is a freelance photographer so he took some amazing pictures of the aftermath as well. Anyhow, I thought I’d let you know a bit more about that fabulous picture."

imagine if the field of psychology axiomatically believed that humans can't be sentient. how would they study behavior and what kinds of theories would they devise?
that's where biology and medicine are at
