Scripture, Philosophy, and Embracing Ambiguity with Zohar Atkins
Scripture, Philosophy, and Embracing Ambiguity with Zohar Atkins Summary: In this episode of Courage Over Convention, we dive into a fascinating conversation with Zohar Atkins, a renowned scholar and founder of Etz Hasadeh. Join us in exploring how Judaism illuminates guiding truths even in this age of disruption. We discuss the impact of technology, macroeconomics, and cultural shifts on the practice of self-reflection. We even touch on the philosophy of neuroscience. Zohar has some serious intellectual horsepower. I enjoyed this one.

Juul Pods Ubiquitous While Psilocybin and Ketamine Therapy Are Broadly Illegal
One Juul pod contains as much nic as 20 cigs. “So yea you can sell em in a four pack right next to the gummy worms.” Psilocybin and ketamine therapy are the best treatment options for complex PTSD - predominantly suffered by victims of sexual assault. But bc these non-addictive substances can’t be effectively monetized, they are impossible for people to get information about (much less access). In this engaging episode of Courage Over Convention, we’re joined by pioneers in the realm of psychedelic-assisted therapy, Richard Meloff and Jay Godfrey, the founders of Nushama. This innovative company has revolutionized the mental health landscape by integrating the medicinal potential of psychedelics and thoughtfully-designed therapeutic spaces. Our compelling conversation explores the science, the stigma, the regulatory landscape, and the transformative potential of psychedelics in mental health treatment. Remember, podcasts are just that – podcasts. This is not a formal endorsement of anything, nor an expression of my personal views. I DO formally endorse both Rich and Jay (and Marissa)…each have impressive credentials and deep-rooted expertise in medicine, business, and design. Speaking to these extraordinarily intelligent, driven, and kind gents was a pleasure.

Free Will: Worth Contemplating
A fun though perhaps controversial collaboration with Stewart Alsop III (host of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast). Subscribe to his podcast (Crazy Wisdom) - you’ll be glad you did. You can find him on Twitter @StewartalsopIII You can find me on Twitter @WoodyWiegmann (1) Woody's general perspective on free will, determinism, and the views of thought leaders within the Philosophy of Neuroscience. (2) Stewart relates his experience with free will, the emotional ego complex, and what he really means when discussing "God" publicly. (3) Woody discusses David Hume's departure from his typical skeptical approach in favor of a compatibilist outlook. He asserts Robert Sapolsky's views on the mechanics of thought actually rest on a foundation of faith. (4) Stewart weaves iboga and addiction into the discussion of free will - and outlines how the first order of neurochemistry fails to explain the process of breaking the addiction to heroin. Our discussion is wide-ranging - plenty of other interesting topics are covered!

The Death of Nuance and Productive Iteration with Stewart Alsop III
In revisiting a past episode with Stewart, I realized I did not do justice to his excellent prompts. This is an edited episode, meant to offer more direct thoughts on the topics Stewart brought to the table. I did not edit Stewart’s contributions (they needed no adjustments) - only my own. Thus, this episode is not a representation of Stewart’s opinions…only mine.
