Rather than thinking of set, setting, and matrix as afterthoughts, the pharmakon of traditionally contextualized psychedelics was precisely their ecodelic nature. This relationship between non-local, symbiotic logics and non-local, symbiotic ecologies understands \u2018eco\u2019 not just as a material substrate, but acknowledges that the web of life exists with its bacteria, viruses, plants, fungi, animals, and other analogues, mutualistic, commensal, and parasitic, in equal abundance in the non-material realms. This ecological theology then, understands ecodelics as the opening to other ecologies \u2014 with their beauty and their dangers, no different than we find in the physical lush yet potentially deadly ecosystems on this planet. This talk will explore the potential nature of these fractal ecologies and the various posited ecodelic approaches by Doyle and others, as well as the implications and ethics surrounding creating structures (such as machines and AI) which may give \u2018body\u2019 in this realm willy-nilly to creatures not normally embodied in our realm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contributor &#8211; Speaker Yogi&nbsp;Hale Hendlin is an environmental philosopher and public health scientist.
