Last summer, thousands of tie-dyed Burners and Patagonia-clad tech founders converged on the MAPS Psychedelic Science conference in Denver. The experience "broke the spell of this trauma, and she was able to rebuild her life," Doblin told The Guardian . The video team's job was to store recordings of every MDMA therapy session performed in the clinical trials. Grof believes in something called an "inner healing intelligence," an innate capacity for self-healing that psychedelic therapy helps unleash. Another time, a patient who had come to an MDMA therapy session later acknowledged they had been under the influence of LSD during treatment.

As a prostate cancer survivor, I can report from painful experience that those misguided assessments are to men’s health and longevity what ice was to the Titanic. As the American Cancer Society notes:• Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men.

Now that I have pet insurance, I don't have to choose the cheapest pet insurance option because it's most affordable. I also have a pet emergency fundAs I said, before the constipation incident with my cat, I wasn't really keen on getting pet insurance.

☆ Why California Officials Killed Cedar, a Little Girl's Pet Goat

Usually, when a child sells an animal at the county fair, some local macher buys it for more than its market value. All they were waiting for, apparently, was approval from the Shasta County district attorney. "More important for livestock producers is how the Shasta County Fair and the Shasta County sheriff — both unencumbered by intelligence — created a bonanza for animal rights zealots." Cedar was livestock, and many people can't even conceive that livestock like Cedar can be something more than food. (The California Department of Food and Agriculture, the Shasta fair, and the county sheriff all declined my requests for comment.)

☆ Black workers could be disproportionately harmed by AI in the workplace, a study says. They are feeling the heat — and trying to fix it.
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-06 | by ( Aaron Mok | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

Black workers are more afraid of being replaced by AI than white workers, a new survey found. That may be because Black workers have a fraught history with the technology, experts say. Black workers are feeling the pressure, new research suggests. Even before the rise of generative AI, Black workers in low-wage jobs faced a greater risk of being replaced by automation technologies, Goligoski said. "It is insufficient to relegate the responsibility of protecting Black workers from the harms of AI to businesses alone," Hayes said.
