How long 'til the recorded video is streaming free online? That's really all I care about. I'm broke so I'm definitely not gonna pay to video-chat with these guys, but nonetheless, I do care what they have to say. Any word on if the video will be released free of charge after-the-fact?

Ugh, Daniel Pinchbeck is such a ponce. I wish this course was elsewhere, because I will never ever give him or his psychedelic Facebook any of my money.

This is worse than jacking off with Eckhart Tolle in the self-help section.
I don't know about you guys, but I certainly enjoy paying for the insider scoop and getting some delicious secrets on reality. Can't wait!

I really would like to know more about what Dennis has been up to. I know he's done a lot of botanical work and such and I'm sure it's all been very important. I just wish he didn't have to pitch himself as Terence's brother to get any attention.
But yeah, paying that much for a video conference is kinda fucking crazy. Pinchbeck is a bit of a jizzmop when it comes to this sort of stuff. Always arranging expensive fucking aya retreats, workshops, etc. I'm sorry but I'm not THAT privileged and white that I'll pay that much money to listen to someone TALK about drugs, or travel to another country to do drugs that I could just as easily order in the mail.
This generation of psychedelic gurus is pretty disappointing.

Pinchbeck has a fabulous headshot, by the way - Terence McKenna never looked so gritty and morose yet noble and defiant.

This generation of psychedelic gurus is pretty disappointing.
It's getting harder to trump the previous explorers with intellectual girth, ballsy attitudes, and impressive track records with publishing/traveling/exploring.
In my meager opinion, we have beat a dead horse by analyzing the shit out of this psychedelic caboose - applying every label, philosophy, and allegory within arms reach without sounding cooky. The only two things left to do are: 1) consume them and have the subjective experience sans rulebook and excessive guidelines, and 2) follow Shulgin's path and unearth some more of these magic tricks. The rest is just story telling. Then again, this seems to be one big story, so why not.

Until mainstream society latches onto the healing potential of psychedelics (in the process of happening IMO) we're just going to have to keep exploring our relationship with them by categorizing novel ones, recording our experiences, and finding new ways to use them. IE option #2. And by the time the shrinks and the clinics finally catch up with what we've known all this time we'll be sought-after journeymen of the no-longer-forbidden arts.
Pardon my delusions of grandeur but I think there is legitimate possibility it will pan out like this

This is the directions MAPS is pushing for.
It functions primarily by a) appealing to authority (PhDs and MDs discussing drugs is more socially tolerable), and b) like you said, indicating their medical and psychotherapeutic value (again, mere reiterations of a millennia-old tradition; spool irony).
But, launching this boat even further into the future, I think an ideal way to see all this unfold is towards the appreciation of psychonautism for its own sake: to map consciousness, the soul and archetypes, synchronicities, Psi phenomena, etc. Puking and shitting out negativity while the ayahuasca-derived serotonin massages your karmic turds is well and good: our society is sick as fuck - I mean, we're at WAR less we forget. Still, whenever I get all visionary I lean towards the Hedweb/Hedonistic Imperative/Abolitionist/Utopian Pharmacology of David Pearce. We'll eventually use these compounds to hack the mind, and hopefully one day overcome our need to re-live childhood trauma and the curious fascination that a mushroom looks like a wee wee.

All things in baby steps. Once psychedelics are accepted rather than feared by society at large, more complex and organized undertakings can begin. I agree with you that psychedelics are a key instrument of a transhuman future.

Baby steps indeed.
We're still debating legalizing a fucking harmless plant that, at its most threatening, gives you mild euphoria.
Long road we got here, folks.
