Would you believe it if I said there is a frequency spectrum that accompanies states of psychedelia, healing, aha moments of insight and artistic epiphanies, and you can evoke it on demand?

Yes, gamma brain waves are indicative of there being untapped potential in the human body in ways you may not suspect.

MIT researchers found that rats that were given chemotherapy and then treated with Gamma wave bursts would experience far milder side effects such as chemo brain which is a form of forgetfulness after treatment. The treatment also improved the myelin producing cells that help keep neurons myelinated as well as repairing damaged cells and DNA.

How could it be that a frequency spectrum repairs cells and DNA? Would this possibly mean that similar Gamma bursts in society might be a general therapeutic? Imagine if that were the case that not only are we swimming EMF's from telecommunication infrastructure, but we're also lacking the gamma frequencies that could (only in theory) combat much of society's ails? I know I'm stretching... but it's fun to stretch every now and then to entertain how technology can be used in societal healing.

And that's what this episode is mostly about. The collective Aha moment (accompanied by gamma waves) that society desperately needs right now to rise to all the existential threats is not an algorithm, a medicine or even gamma waves themselves, but the Aha moment within each of us that we, individually matter.

I don't believe the problems of our time will be solved but transcended by the awakened artist in each of us. I know that's flowery, but flowery is something needed as well.
