William James said the knowledge that we will die is “the worm at the core” of the human condition — a universally shared phobia that informs all our thoughts and actions. But today I’m going to tell you how the worm at the core can be removed without spoiling the fruit.

In this video, I explain how psychedelics like psilocybin have the potential to help us come to terms with our fear of death — or thanatophobia — and how research studies are proving that these drugs can help people lead improved lives of meaning and purpose.

*ABOUT*

✌️Hello, my name is Charles Bliss. I am a psychedelic journalist from Norwich, UK.

I make videos on the scientific, political and cultural impact of psychedelic compounds.

Psychedelics can change your mind. I want to know how.

On this channel, I am documenting my creative process as I write the manuscript for my first book. Here you can watch entertaining, educational videos about The Beatles, psychedelics and death.
