September 26, 2002: Cognitive Liberty - Richard Glen Boire


Listen Later

Legal scholar Richard Glen Boire discusses the fundamental right to cognitive liberty and how government policies threaten our mental autonomy. Boire, co-director of the Center for Cognitive Liberty and Ethics, examines how drug laws and psychiatric practices violate basic human rights to consciousness exploration and mental self-determination. The conversation explores how legal frameworks could protect individuals' rights to alter their own consciousness through various means while maintaining public safety. Boire addresses the intersection of neuroscience, law, and human rights in an era when technology increasingly allows external control of mental processes.
