In this episode, the cowboys discuss anxiety, depression, ADHD and the comorbidity of psychological disorders. Sam tries to figure out if he has ADD while Lou explores the different types of the disorder. It's a great time.

In this episode our Cowboys talk about the phenomenology of the Ego, and Joaquin Phoenix movies Joker and The Master and how those movies illustrate the relationship between the self and consciousness.

We have Ryan Baesemann, online editor at Soft Punk magazine/journalist/recent NYU grad, to talk politics, journalism and objectivity and psychedelics. Pretty good convo folks. We're really heating up with this one.

We talk about the (very outdated) Liz Warren/Bernie Sanders controversy, the Dem Primary, political consciousness, populism, polling, journalism (as a business), and this weird stand-up comedy show we went to after which we tripped with some strangers and had a great time. We also mention Macklemore for some reason. Enjoy.

We talk a little about the Midsommar movie, spirituality and psychedelics, the nature of consciousness, trauma; and I recount a revelation from a personal trip and Luis tells a story about how he once used what was likely a dildo cord to recharge his juul.

We finish going over Luis' time at the Horizons: Perspectives on Psychedelics conference, then go over an article from Double-Blind Magazine. How can Psychedelics bring about societal change? Let's find out.

We talk about some recent psychedelic experiences as well as the Horizons Conference in New York last fall. Enjoy our first episode!
