Sam Friedman is a pioneering researcher at the Broad Institute dedicated to using machine learning to map the salient features of human health. Today we talk about his recent studies of psychedelics and the human mind; we cover his insights into the various axes along which psychedelic experience can be understood; the ontological status of our altered states; the dimensions of meaning; the future of humanity; machine learning, and more.

Primal Nature is a podcast and center for psychedelic therapy in rural Spain. 

We work primarily with people who have reached the limits of what rational analysis can offer in terms of healing or growth; our practice is centered on cultivating deeper relationships between feeling and understanding, body and mind, human and nature.

We offer therapy for individuals and couples, as well as workshops, retreats, and expeditions - in select locations throughout Europe, the Americas, and Africa.
