Human beings are primates, and primates are political animals. Our brains, therefore, are designed not just to hunt and gather but also to help us get ahead socially, often via deception and self-deception. But while we may be self-interested schemers, we benefit by pretending otherwise. The less we know about our own ugly motives, the better - and thus, we don't like to talk, or even think, about the extent of our selfishness. This is "the elephant in the brain".

The world has mixed views on any chemical or compound that has the potential to affect one’s mind. Recreational drug use has become a growing trend in the 21st century, and psilocybin mushrooms have been classed within that category without further exploring the benefits of the compounds that lie within them. Psilocybin mushrooms are also known as magic, psychedelic, or hallucinogenic mushrooms and have been the center of debate for several decades. The main reason for this is that these mushrooms are believed to have healing qualities and can enhance a person’s mind when used ...
