Dr. Andrew Gallimore has spent 30 years studying the world’s strangest molecule — one your body already produces. As a neurobiologist and pharmacologist, he’s built a scientific case that what people encounter on DMT isn’t hallucination. It’s contact.
In this conversation, Gallimore walks through the neuroscience of how DMT hijacks the brain’s world-building system, and why that distinction matters enormously.
He also shares his recent collaboration with consciousness theorist Don Hoffman — work that produced a mathematical model of the DMT state that Gallimore calls one of the most profound moments of his career.
From machine elves to the Barrow Scale, from near-death experiences to the nature of alien intelligence — this one covers ground most conversations never reach. Here’s more in a new edition of The Basement from The Why Files.
