Psychedelic Psyops + the Origins of Language with Jay Stevens

I was introduced to Jay Stevens by our mutual friend, Robert Forte. Jay is the author of “Storming Heaven: LSD and the American Dream”, as well as a poet, and musician. He’s an expansive thinker with a wide breadth of knowledge, and I so enjoyed the conversation we shared.
