Carl H Smith is a Cyberdelics Researcher, Director of the Learning Technology Research Centre (LTRC) and Principal Research Fellow at Ravensbourne University. In this conversation we explore:
Technologies for achieving altered states; Carl’s work on cyberdelics, using technology to design and access these states; the overlap of Carl’s work on context engineering and Daniel’s on ontological design; the loss of common ground in informational society, and the dangers of ontological design technology; distinctions between posthumanism and transhumanism; the concepts of tulpas and egregores as units of thought exchange and exploration; stories of Carl’s exploration into his consciousness; perspectives of reality and mind that transcend the subject object divide; shamanic experiences of becoming other objects; the democratization of transformational experiences; practices for grounding, and the place of magic, rituals, communities and structure within consciousness exploration.
