==== 2015/09/17 Beckley Foundation FB ==== When I arrived to the fundraising page project was already funded but I decided to 'vote with my wallet' for a privilege to be in the same room with all these people.

I really liked some snippets: * Psylocibin is easier to get permission because noone recognises the word * £3000 for a dose of scientific LSD * Comparison to dark ages (Copernicus and Gallileo)

I also observed that currently we have rather expensive and bulky piece of equipment: MRI scanner. We are able to observe areas of brain with enhanced blood flow. Such a crude measurements!

Project idea (feedback needed): In my next iteration of getting a job I'll dedicate a section to my experiences - I would like to work with people who are open minded and appreciate that 15 minutes nap to recharge is better than constant stream of intoxication coming from sugar and caffeine.

Project idea (feedback needed): How can you define real? With the rise of Virtual Reality (VR), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Psychedelic Consciousness (PC) - how can you define real? What is consensual reality? Think in terms 'Touring Test' transcended from 1950 into 2015...

Brain Drain
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_capital_flight#Europe "A similar phenomenon occurred in Poland after its entry into the European Union. In the first year of its EU membership, 100,000 Poles registered to work in England, joining an estimated 750,000 residents of Polish descent. Research conducted by PKO Bank Polski, Poland's largest retail bank, shows that 63% of Polish immigrants to the UK were aged between 24 and 35, with 40% possessing a university degree. However, with the rapid growth of salaries in Poland, its booming economy, the strong value of the złoty, and decreasing unemployment (which fell from 14.2% in May 2006 to 8% in March 2008), the flight of Polish workers slowed. In 2008 and early 2009 people who came back outnumbered those leaving the country. The exodus is likely to continue, however."

Master 2FA
Thinking about some master account containing OAuth tokens to other services. In that way if some service does not support 2-factorauthentication, the master account will do.

Experiment Design
Test subject sits in a room and sees world on the screen. They can manipulate world around them using robotic hands. World reacts and responds to these interactions.

1) One is "real" world, consisting of actual objects.

2) One is "virtual" world consisting of VR (virtual reality) and AI (artificial intelligence)

Based on reactions and responses from real and virtual world, test subject tries to determine which is which.

Reclaiming rare minerals
We can collect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_Electrical_and_Electronic_Equipment_Directive at a massive scale and hope to improve processes in the coming years.
