About this listen

Episode 2, “Chasing Euphoria: The Science and Psychology of Altered States,” explores why humans are driven to feel different and how that quest reshapes the brain. The episode traces altered states from ancient rituals to today’s raves, psychedelics, microdosing, meditation, sex tech, and ASMR, explaining the neurochemistry of dopamine, serotonin, and pleasure pathways. It examines modern psychedelic research, therapeutic promise, legal shifts, and the quantified‑pleasure world of VR intimacy, float tanks, and sensory hacks. Finally, it confronts the dark side—tolerance, addiction, and escapist use—and offers a roadmap for balancing exploration with safety, harm reduction, and emotional stability.
