The Cyberdelic Podcast
Augmenting reality is an innately human desire to share our ideas and perceptions to feel connected.
Welcome to The Cyberdelic Podcast, where startup CEO Nils Pihl and co-founder & anthropologist Damir First explore how memetics and cultural transhumanism influence our (digital) reality. If you want to understand how ideas shape culture, technology, and the metaverse, you are in the right space.
The goal of The Cyberdelic Podcast is to bring into our collective consciousness the idea that we should be mindful of the ideas and memes that we propagate. Culture is crowdsourced! We wish to provide the framework and tools to empower cultural authorship.
Will future kingdoms of imagination be owned by companies who surveil and monetize our thoughts and actions or be privacy-preserving, deeply humane, and artistic spaces that our digital identity can call home?

The Origin Of Cyberdelics And The Attention Economy
In this episode of “The Cyberdelic Podcast,” we talk about Terence McKenna, how reality is made up of language, and how AR is the second-to-last step in human communication.
We discuss the origin of the word ‘cyberdelic’ and look at how asynchronous conversations and social media lead to a more dystopian Internet. Our attention is a limited resource, and we only build the things we are salient about - our attention guides where progress goes.
The goal of this episode is to help people understand that the Internet is a state of mind and a digital realm we could inhabit together.
If you're into cyberdelics or want to know more about spatial computing, we're building the future of precise positioning.
