Today I am returning to a classical topic and also one that is very close to my current research.

Quickly, the 16-year-old fishes two white Tramadol tablets out of his trouser pocket and put them in his mouth. “If I take this, I can do anything,” he says. “Nothing seems impossible.” Then Ayao, who has a different name, leaves his parents’ simple house on the outskirts of Lomé, Togo’s capital, to go to work.

EGO DEATH
“The first time I experienced an ego dissolution,” says 26-year-old Bradley from Idaho, USA, “I took four and a half grams of magic mushrooms. At first, I tried to concentrate on getting myself back a bit, but of course, that didn’t work. The mushrooms knew better what I needed. So I just kept telling myself, “I’m not going to die, even though it may feel that way.”

Corona crisis exposes the stupidity and ignorance of most people.
Why do people not behave as they are advised for their own safety? Are we just ignorant idiots? Or do people just like to rebel? To answer these questions, we talk to Renato Troffa, a professor of social psychology at the University of Cagliari. “This is a complex phenomenon,” he says. Our frame of reference — our social background and environment, for example — has a strong impact on how we perceive a risk: “Do you trust the government? How concerned are friends and relatives? All these things matter.”
