He is not totally wrong on this

It would be cool a short video, like you did with other meditation techniques years go, on those

Happened to me as well a couple of time One of those was a bit terrified because it felt like I was stuck in that infinity for infinity and the idea of myself was crushing and I was kind of afraid of dying and not being able to get back to my body again. Cool experiences with cool insight though, and they randomly happened, sort of like a sudden blessing-curse

When I finished high school I was more interested in scientific subjects and to the more typical ones of the medical field and it seemed a career where you could make a good living and also help other people. In the second year of uni I had also started delving into the world of Game and self-improvement-psychology, I saw a psychiatrist myself for OCD-depression-panic attacks who helped a lot. Then actually in the last few years of my medical studies I started finding boring some of the subjects like cardiology, surgery, endocrinology, etc (basically the ones that are typical medical core curriculum) and I liked studying psychiatry for the exam, then I also got in contact with one of my professors and also thanks to him I managed to do some forensic psychiatry internship which I liked and I started going just as a student to help in the emergency psychiatry department. Then when I had to choose my residency my score was pretty decent and I was a bit uncertain whether to actually choose psychiatry, cause I also got passionate about emergency medicine and anesthesia-intensive care. In the end since I liked more the kind of work-life balance of psychiatry + I really like the fact that you could help and impact people in the domain of their mind problems + the fact that it's a subject that is very much related to philosophy, spirituality, sociology, then I made to choice to start officially start the career in psychiatry. I am taking an extra university class which will also allow me to work in a forensic setting.

Totally agree to what you are stating As far as what I've seen Ken Wilber's work is really genius, I will delve more into the AQAL if you think it is going to help me making sense more deeply of what I see every day in my work.

Even severe conditions like bipolar 2 disorder and schizophrenia are more common than we think (thank God in Europe at least the toll of the opioid crisis is nowhere as near as the prevalence in the US). Depending on diagnostic criteria the prevalence of schizophrenia can rise up until 1,2%! Diagnostic criteria are quite an epistemic trouble in psychiatry - no other medical field in 2025 has the quite as much an epistemic problem - you don't see endocrinologists fighting about what diabetes really is or internal medicine doctors fighting about the definition of pneumonia, but you can find psychiatrists in the same hospital not fully agreeing even on what something as common as depression really is

Up until now, I've worked during my residency mostly with acute patients-emergency psychiatry (suicidal attempts, suicidal ideation, acute schizophrenia, mania, depression, behavioural disorders), then also with more day-to-day clinic setting conditions like adhd, depression, old age cognitive impairment, mood disorders and personality disorders

Hey Leo, as a psychiatry resident in Europe and fan of your work, I just wanted to give you props for your recent posts and interest on the mental pathology domain Keep it up! In case you ever feel the need for some exchange of views on this topic, feel free to dm me

I am doing the opposite, at the moment. Forcing myself to use more AI and try to use it wisely and consciously and make the most out of it

How do you realize a game on your own? Can you make a blog post about it?

Discussing philosophical theories... it would be nice a long 3 hour video on existentialism! Actually, it would be nice on any philosophical current out there

He was refering that is way more construct-aware than the other people in the videos, whose reasoning was much more similar to a monkey (meaning very basic and not nounced at all) than to a human with a brain

Let's not understimate also the fact that he ended up hating the Woke culture after his son's transition, as stated in the interview with JP, he blames the cultural brainwashing of the "Woke"

On which platform can we get the full interview?

Which ones? In any specific video?
