    Altered States, Altered Societies

    Altered States, Altered Societies 🍄 What happens when a change in consciousness changes an entire culture? In this episode of Talk Trippy to Me, Hannah and Mykalise explore the fascinating relationship between altered states of consciousness and the evolution of human societies. From ancient rituals and religious experiences to meditation, dreams, fasting, music, psychedelics, and modern neuroscience, they examine how altered states have influenced art, spirituality, innovation, social movements, and the way humans understand reality itself. Were altered states merely personal experiences, or have they helped shape civilizations, belief systems, and cultural identities throughout history? Why do nearly all human societies have traditions designed to shift consciousness? And what can modern science tell us about what happens in the brain when our perception of reality changes? Together, they unpack the research, the controversies, the anthropology, and the enduring human desire to step beyond ordinary awareness. Join us as we explore one of the most universal—and mysterious—aspects of the human experience: the drive to alter consciousness and the ways those altered minds may have altered the world. 🍄 Talk Trippy to Me is a research-driven podcast exploring the intersection of science, psychology, culture, history, and the extraordinary questions that make us human.

    That’s Dopamine

    In this episode of Talk Trippy to Me, Mykalise leads a deep dive into dopamine; the neurotransmitter often called the “pleasure chemical,” but far more accurately understood as the brain’s motivation and action system. We break down how dopamine actually works in the body, where it’s produced, and why it plays a central role in habit formation, learning, and drive. The conversation explores what happens when dopamine is too low (loss of motivation, focus, and emotional engagement) versus too high (impulsivity, addictive behaviors, and overstimulation). We also unpack how modern life; social media, sugar, caffeine, gambling-style rewards, and constant stimulation may be reshaping our dopamine systems and contributing to burnout, addiction cycles, and chronic dissatisfaction. Finally, we discuss practical ways to regulate dopamine, including behavioral resets, habit formation windows, and the concept of dopamine detoxing as a tool for reducing overstimulation and rebuilding healthier reward pathways. This episode is not about removing dopamine—it’s about understanding it, balancing it, and learning how to work with your brain instead of against it. ⸻ ⚠️ Disclaimer This episode is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

    Ethical IQ

    What if intelligence isn’t something you are—but something we’ve been measuring wrong this entire time? This podcast explores the science, history, psychology, and cultural impact of IQ and what it actually means to be “smart.” We break down where intelligence testing came from, what modern research suggests, and how numbers meant to describe cognition became labels that shape identity. From neuroscience and psychology to culture and lived experience, we ask a bigger question: Are we measuring intelligence—or just measuring environment, opportunity, and learned skills? New episodes explore intelligence, emotion, behavior, and the systems that shape how we understand human potential. ⸻ ⚖️ Disclaimer This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only. The content discussed is based on publicly available research, historical analysis, and personal commentary. It is not intended to provide medical, psychological, diagnostic, or professional advice. Intelligence testing and psychological concepts discussed may be interpreted differently across academic fields and evolving research. Nothing in this podcast should be taken as a definitive assessment of any individual’s cognitive ability, mental health, or personal value.
