DMT and cluster headache relief

Part 2 of our recent conversation with Andres Gomez Emilsson asks whether humanity should create machines capable of real consciousness and intention. We explore how artificial minds would feel, what they would desire, and why their motivations might drift far from human needs. The discussion examines the risks of building entities with their own internal harmony, suffering, and evolutionary direction. What emerges is a sober look at whether a machine god is something humanity actually wants.
