Michael Pollan on Consciousness, Psychedelics and the Fight for Free Thought

For Episode Nine, Evgeny is joined by Michael Pollan, journalist, author, and one of the leading voices exploring the human mind. Drawing on his new book A World Appears, Pollan makes an impassioned case for consciousness as something precious, private, and increasingly under threat. Together, they explore how social media and AI are not just competing for our attention, but beginning to shape attachment, emotion, and even our sense of self. The conversation ranges from chatbots and “AI psychosis” to meditation, psychedelics, and the idea of “consciousness hygiene” - the habits and practices that might help us protect our inner lives. Pollan also reflects on why writing is a form of thinking, why boredom and mind-wandering matter, and how experiences of ego dissolution, art, and nature can deepen our understanding of consciousness. The episode ends on a wider question: whether the real challenge is not only understanding consciousness, but learning how to practise it. This episode was produced by Message Heard and The Standard. Producer: Florence de Schlichting Production Coordinator: James Cox Production Manager: Kirsty McLean Video Editor: Nani Wenani The Standard team: Joe Bromley Will Rogers-Coltman Hosted on Acast.

Will Hungary’s historic election bring about real change? With Miklós Hajnal MP

After 16 years in power, Viktor Orbán’s leadership of Hungary has come to an end.

In this episode, host Tamara Kormornick speaks to Miklós Hajnal, a sitting Member of Parliament for the Momentum party and an opposition figure in Hungary’s National Assembly. Together, they discuss whether Hungary can truly move beyond Orbán’s rule, and the geopolitical direction the country may take in the years ahead. Hosted on Acast.

Ben Lamm on Colossal's De-Extinction Mission — From Dire Wolves to Woolly Mammoths

Did you ever think you’d live to see woolly mammoths return? For Episode Five of Brave New World, Evgeny is joined by Ben Lamm, CEO and co-founder of the most forward thinking de-extinction company on the planet, Colossal Biosciences. Since Ben co-founded the Austin based biotech start-up with legendary geneticist George Church in 2021, Colossal has consistently made headlines with their Jurassic Park-esque breakthroughs. In this conversation, Ben goes into the science behind “bringing back” an extinct species, how sci-fi and speculative fiction has inspired Colossal’s work, and the incredible implications de-extinction could have for conservation and the planet.
