So I want to make it count and I'd love your help. I am willing to spend up to $400.00.

Today’s episode is all about being physically, mentally, and emotionally fit in tech. Steve Mescon — former gaming industry professional — now experiments with, invests in, and supports a wide range of performance-enhancing products and companies; he joins the show to talk about optimizing performance. From stem cells to psychedelics, follow us down the rabbit hole… Welcome to the Tony Wong podcast! IMPORTANT NOTE: This interview and associated content are in no way an endorsement or recommendation that anyone should do Ketamine, Psilocybin, DMT, or any other illegal drugs — there is nothing you cannot achieve or do on your own through dedicated self-improvement, meditation, or spiritual practices. Key Takeaways [:09] Tony introduces today’s guest, Steve Mescon, who spent over 10 years at Riot Games, most recently as the General Manager for North American publishing at Riot Games. Being a visible person [4:57] Steve touches on why he agreed to come on the podcast and what skills he is aiming to develop on his journey to becoming a more public-facing person. 30,000 simple tricks! [7:59] Steve worked his way from 420 to 184 pounds without any medical intervention. He uses a backpack metaphor to explain how he managed this impressive feat, with all of its ups and downs and getting lost in the process. What is the first trick then? [12:40] Steve had help from a bit of an OCD personality, but the first trick is to never stop going for your goal. Change the path, the approach, the angle, the tools, and iterate but don’t stop. Determination and separation [15:29] Tony speaks of his late Navy Seal mentor as well as what he learned from martial arts in terms of embracing discomfort as part and parcel of any journey that leads to growth. Fixating is common in tech [18:00] Ron talks about his own mechanism for achieving long-term life goals — stacking and restacking dominoes — he also touches on how he deals with failures. He does caution that there is such a thing as too goal-driven! Ron’s dogs chime in on this fixation thing [ 20:41] Woof. Try them all [21:45] Steve, as a figure of speech, has tried ALL diets… he speaks to what works for him. Calorie counting, low carbs, Keto, Paleo, and finally Whole 30, which was his best all-around feel-good diet but was way too impractical to live in society with. Tony’s challenge! [24:17] Peptides, stem cell therapy, Infrared lasers, or 48- or 72-hour fast, the guys will choose one at the end of the episode! Infrared or roasting? [25:14] At Ron’s behest, Steve explains what infrared and near-infrared devices are and are purported to do, as well as how their use has personally impacted his life. Tony jumps in with his own experience with autoimmune responses to food and how the use of an infrared sauna has helped him tackle this issue. (bis) IMPORTANT NOTE: This interview and associated content are in no way an endorsement or recommendation that anyone should do Ketamine, Psilocybin, DMT, or any other illegal drugs — there is nothing you cannot achieve or do on your own through dedicated self-improvement, meditation, or spiritual practices. Micro... and other dosings [33:40] Steve talks about how the controlled and less controlled use of psychedelics has helped him broaden his range of personal and social understanding and goals, being more present, having more empathy, opening his mind, etc. — plus, you know, fun! He also speaks to the future of psychedelic use being freer and safer as science works to bridge the knowledge gap previously created by restriction and fear. Ron was raised to think psychedelics are super scary; he shares the story of when his daughter broke her arm in Hawai’i and how her long-seated depression was staved off when they used Ketamine to set her arm. Ayahuasca [43:17] Steve shares a brief summary of his first terrifying, explosive, fast-paced journey with a DMT (N,N-Dimethyltryptamine) breakthrough and the rebuilding the index of self that followed. Stem cell therapy [49:45] Steve shares his love story with stem cell therapy and the varied experiences he’s had with them — so far he’s had injections in his wrist, his back, his knee, as well as an infusion of exosomes. The sources for the stem cells have varied from his own fat tissue to exosomes from embryonic tissue. Ron and Steve talk about the regulatory process that seems to lag behind the research — maybe even too far behind at this point — into biohacking and transhumanism as well as how this research and access can progress within the existing political, ethical and moral parameters. Wrap up and challenges! [1:01:36] The discussion turns towards fecal matter transplant and the opportunity for a startup! Tony’s challenge: peptides (BPC-157). Steve’s challenge: 48-hour fast, maybe with a few expletives. Ron’s challenge: peptides. Thanks for tuning in.

Stanislav Grof sier at psykedelika kan gjøre det samme for psykisk helse som mikroskopet gjorde for biologien eller teleskopet gjorde for astronomien. Vi undersøker dette i samtale med filosofiprofessor Ole Martin Moen.7. desember 2018 arrangerte jeg en fagdag på et hotell i Kristiansand. Nærmere 100 mennesker fra min arbeidsplass var samlet for faglig påfyll med en dose underholdning. Siden ingen var spesielt interesserte i ansvaret for denne dagen, tok jeg initiativ under visse forutsetninger. Jeg skulle få lov til å bestemme helt selv hva denne dagen skulle inneholde. Jeg fikk også lov til å invitere to gjester jeg hadde lyst til å snakke med. Det var en helt idelle situasjon for meg, og jeg hadde store forventninger til dagen.Det første jeg ønsket å utforske denne dagen var psykedeliske stoffer. Psykedelika har vært tabu og forbudt i mange år, men i senere tid har interessen for disse potente stoffene nådd nye høyder. Flere interessante forskningsprosjekter iverksettes og den kjente journalisten Michael Pollan kom med boken: «How to change your mind – What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us about Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendenc». Ofte assosierer man psykedelika med hasj røykende hippier og den mer alternative delen av befolkningen, men i senere tid har stuerene og fremragende fagfolk begynt å snakke om psykedelika, noe som gir de forbudt stoffene en ny sjanse i mediebilde, og en ny sjanse til å bevise seg selv på tross av den generelle befolkningens iboende skepsis. Dette synes jeg er uhyre interessant.For meg begynte denne interessen for 15 år siden da jeg blant annet leste mange bøker av Thimothy Leary og andre folk i kretsen rundt den kontroversielle LSD psykiateren. Jeg bodde i Danmark og var tettere på miljøer som hadde lignende interesser. Siden har jeg forlatt dette feltet i flere år, men så har det langsomt kommet tilbake og jeg leste boken til Michal Pollan.Pollan er en av USAs mest anerkjente forfattere, og han tar oss på en sinns-endrende reise til grensene for den menneskelige bevissthet. Da LSD ble først oppdaget på 1940-tallet, virket det som om forskere stod på trappene til en psykologisk revolusjon. Psykedeliske stoffer var uhyre potente og det kunne virke som om de åpnet for ny innsikt i bevissthetens dype mysterier. Samtidig kunne de ha helbredende effekt på en rekke psykiske plager og avhjelpe rusmisbruk. Men på 1960-tallet oppstod det sterke krefter som ville tvinge hippie-bølgen i kne, og dermed ble mye av forskningen på LSD tatt med i fallet, og siden ble det mer eller mindre forbudt. I de siste årene har imidlertid arbeidet og interessen for psykedeliske preparater fått en slags renessanse, og man begynner å utforske det fantastiske potensialet for LSD, psilocybin og DMT på nytt. Er det mulig at disse stoffene kan forbedre menneskers psykiske helse på dramatisk vis? Kan de fungere som en portåpner til en helt ny form for bevissthet? Det er nettopp denne typen spørsmål jeg ønsket å behandle på første del av fagdagen ved Distrisktspykiatrisk senter på Solvang. For å trenge inn i dette feltet, inviterte jeg en person jeg både beundrer og frykter litt. Det er en person jeg har møtt tidligere på filosofifestivalen i Kragerø, og det er en person jeg har skrevet en del om i den siste boken min, Psykologens journal. Det er professor i filosofi, Ole Martin Moen.Han er virkelig en fascinerende person med en formidabel evne til å tenke annerledes og nytt om mange kontroversielle temaer. For tiden arbeider han med spørsmålet om hva vil det si å være i nød. Han kan kanskje kalles for en moralfilosof, og det kan nevnes at han definerer seg som transhumanist. Transhumanismen adskiller seg fra humanismen ved at den tar til etterretning og oppmuntrer de radikale forandringer i naturen av menneskets muligheter som blir følgene av forskjellige vitenskapelige nyvinninger. Det er masse andre interessante og spennende ting man kunne sagt om Ole Martin Moen, men det blir litt på siden av poenget i denne episoden. Tema for vårt møte var ikke transumanisme eller moralfilosofi, men spørsmålet om potensiale i bruk av psykedeliske stoffer. Med meg i samtalen har jeg også Terje Thesen som er en god kollega og psykiater ved DPS Solvang. Sammen forsøke vi å utforske forholdet mellom psykedeliske stoffer, psykiske lidelser, meditasjon, selvinnsikt og spiritualitet. For meg var det veldig stimulerende å snakke med Ole Martin om dette, og jeg håper du også kan få noe ut av samtalen.Synes du denne typen tematikk er interessant, så kan du få med deg resten av samtalen i neste episode. Da åpner vi også for spørsmål fra publikum, og det er er ikke til å stikke under en stol at enkelte av deltakerne, som altså jobber i psykisk helsevern, er litt skeptiske til psykedelika. Mer om dette i neste episode (#105). Jeg vil også nevne at jeg har skrevet en del om ideene til Ole Martin i boken som heter «Psykologens journal». Jeg er langt i fra enig med Ole Martin på mange områder, men denne mannen fascinerer meg. Han er en god sparringspartner når målet er å se en sak fra så mange vinkler som mulig.

In this IMCO episode (slightly longer than 5mins), Jonathan provides his opinion on a book he recently read entitled "How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us about Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression and Transcendence (Published in May 2018) written by Michael Pollan." Polan argues that in order for us to be healed (or at least ameliorate) from addiction, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, or have a different life perspective towards pain and illness, we need to "dispense our ego." And, in order to do that, LSD and mushrooms can help thereby qualifying their usage. How should Christians view this? We are called daily to lose ourselves and give up our control to Jesus but it's far easier said than done. Could LSD and Mushrooms be the solution? Enjoy!
