Humanities and social science research cut from New Zealand's major research fund because STEM "made more impact on the economy."

This notion that the only kind of value is economic is INSANE. Humans are not robots and humanity is not just capitalism.

It’ll be good for pump & dump scams in crypto and psychedelic-themed penny stocks.

There is a chance of some move towards psychedelic assisted therapy being more available, especially for veterans. But regulatory approach & roll out will be a dog’s breakfast.

Saffron has become a beloved subtle-active. It stimulates my blood flow in a very pleasant way and infuses my dreams. I planted some around the fall equinox to build a deeper relationship with it 🌱

This, this is the issue. People do not like to feel stupid, belittled, dismissed..
