Long suppressed as components of the human tool kit, psychedelic plants can be usefully modeled as “eloquence adjuncts” that intensify a crucial component of sexual selection in humans: discourse.

Spirituality is the quest to develop the spiritual side of your human nature. It has many different shades of meaning for each person. Often shaped by religious and societal norms, spirituality frequently evades many of us as we plod through our daily existence. Our busy lives keep our focus on our day-to-day affairs, and many of us don’t have the energy or inclination to dedicate the precious resources of time and effort into developing this critical aspect of ourselves.

The U.S. has some of the highest rates of STIs and teen pregnancies in the industrialized world.

Good writing is sexy.
