Host Chris Wright starts off the day with some talk of the clinical benefits of many hallucinogenic compounds (DMT, LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, ayahuasca, mescaline, peyote, quechua, THC). He then talks about how artificial intelligence can make music and art even better than we can using algorithms. Is this okay? Plenty of examples are given, including Frédéric Chopin and a reference to South Park. He briefly discusses the way ideas spread online and the way gift giving SHOULD be done (not really). He also mentions the fabulous "klein bottle." Make sure to check out the awesome podcast: ¡Choúkrüt!
