In this week’s episode of The Creativity and Consciousness Podcast, I introduce a groundbreaking new series, Cybernetic Séances, with a digital recreation of the legendary Terence McKenna. In this series, I engage with AI-powered simulations of some of my most beloved and influential philosophers, spiritual leaders, artists, and thinkers, whose wisdom continues to inspire beyond their lifetimes.

In this debut episode, I sit down with the digitally recreated voice and mind of Terence McKenna to delve into his visionary perspectives on psychedelics, artificial intelligence, and the future of human consciousness.

The episode opens with a powerful clip from one of McKenna’s original lectures, setting the stage for a thought-provoking conversation that transcends the boundaries of time and space. Although McKenna’s responses were generated using ChatGPT and his voice was recreated through ElevenLabs' advanced voice simulation technology, all of my questions and interactions were recorded live, bringing an organic and spontaneous dynamic to the dialogue.

All music was entirely composed by Udio AI.

Together, we examine the commodification of psychedelics, the evolving relationship between AI and human consciousness, and the urgent need to reconnect with Gaia.

This episode presents an exciting and experimental fusion of technology, philosophy, and Terence’s profound insights into the nature of consciousness.
