Neuron Podcast with Václav Dejčmar

The investor, philanthropist and Neuron Foundation patron was a guest on our partner podcast Brain We Are. An expedition into the mysteries of the human mind awaits, to the boundary between logic and miracle, but above all you will get tips for changing how we think in the 21st century.
"It is great to have an open mind. But as Dawkins says, I recommend keeping it open, but not so open that your brain falls out," Václav Dejčmar says in a new episode of the Neuron Podcast.
He reveals his thinking as a financier and as a supporter of science, but with Václav Dejčmar we go much further: from Elon Musk through psychedelics to concepts of happiness and wisdom.
"If as a civilisation we do not upgrade our mental maps, we may end up living in constructs that do not help us solve current problems. Then, I think, we are not far from this civilisation, which is immensely fragile, coming to an end," Václav Dejčmar warns.
So what should we pay attention to in order to create a better version of the future? You will find the answer in the new episode of the Neuron Podcast.
