Hey guys.

I have a few questions on one topic, for Shane particularly , but interested in any input Matt or Brian may be able to offer.

There is so much to talk about when it comes to psychedelics, especially DMT. But a common feature, which I feel is brushed over most of the time, the is the undeniable fact that, human beings, can for some reason, fully "see/comprehend/visualize/experience" 4 dimensional shapes, such as a tesseract for example, while on DMT or other tryptamines.

I can't think of any logical reason, evolutionary or not, as to how or why our brains could possibly be primed for this ability, since all we have ever known, are 3 spatial dimensions.

4 dimensional shapes should, as far as I can tell, only exist as mathematical concepts. Yet, even at mid level DMT doses, we can fully perceive them.

Is there some scientific body of knowledge that has demystified this in any serious way?

Excluding all the legal and cultural reasons why people don't openly talk about their drug use, is there a reason why I don't hear serious people in the fields of science and academia talking about this specific feature of psychedelics?

I cant help but imagine what insights could be gleaned, if more people at the cutting edge of physics and mathematics, were exploring these experiences themselves.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

It is said, that Delta-8-THC on its own, produces a very gentle cannabis high, and according to some, it successfully "scratches that same itch" that most long term Cannabis smokers want in a high, but apparently its still so easy going it never really goes deep enough to cause any major paranoia or discomfort.

What are your thoughts on Delta-8-THC and its effects, and potential, if any, to replace standard cannabis products for people who are prone to anxiety? Or simply for people looking for a milder option now and again.

Or, are there any other cannibinoids which you think might be more suited to this?

Are there any varieties of cubensis which are especially hardy and resilient, which may potentially grow outdoors in very wet and cold climates? More specifically, European climates where Psilocybe semilanceata are the norm.

Also, I have heard rumors of some species of lichens, in Iceland particularly, which contain multiple types of tryptamines. Any concrete information you may have on them, be they real or mere rumor, would be much appreciated.

Also, any recommendations for people who would love nothing more than to work with psychedelics in a legal and professional manner, but have missed the boat with regards to obtaining scientific degrees or PHDs ? Any avenues for psychedelic related careers which I might be over looking ? Not the standard roles of lab chemist or therapist etc...

Thanks for your time!

This is a great idea, wishing you lots of success.

Question: Under the right circumstances, might you be convinced into using some of your technologies time to help solve the mystery of UAPs / UFOs?

I too am eagerly awaiting the James Webb Telescope, it really should be a game changer. And its great to hear that you were curious and open minded enough to use your data to see if you could help clear up a "sighting".

Small follow up question, if you have time.... you said you don't find any of the recent reports particularly mysterious. Could you elaborate on that a little please?

I think a lot of rational people are scratching their heads at the moment, specially after comments by Obama, and more specifically by former DNI John Rathcliffe, who insisted on two things, the technology wasn't from the USA, and it wasn't from Russia or China.

A slightly more on topic question, are their upcoming careers opportunities in Planet which people can keep an eye out for?

Thanks again for what you are doing, I am really interested to see how your company progresses.
