Carl H Smith - DMTx to Interbeing Technologies: Modifying the Phenomenology of Altered States

The intersection of psychedelic experiences and advanced technology is presented as a framework for human enhancement. This hyperhumanist approach explores how tools like virtual reality and artificial intelligence can serve to modify the phenomenology of altered consciousness. By focusing on somatic technologies and contextual design, the potential for intentional subjective change is examined beyond mere pharmacological effects. The use of extended-state DMT protocols and other entheogenic experiences is framed within a broader context of interbeing technologies. Such methodologies involve integrating sound, sensory inputs, and data-driven insights into research, aiming to understand and refine altered states. The objective is to leverage these states for cognitive or experimental development while emphasizing the significance of human agency in shaping these outcomes.
