#10 - Luke Strong - Why alcohol ranks more dangerous than psychedelics, and policy ignores it
<p>Luke Strong, policy researcher at the Center for Psychedelic Policy and membership coordinator for the Intercollegiate Psychedelics Network, traces why fifty years of prohibition failed to reduce drug use while blocking the most promising mental health treatments from reaching patients. The conversation covers the Schedule 1 research catch-22, the neuroscience of default mode network dissolution, a landmark MDMA trial where 67% of PTSD patients no longer qualified for a diagnosis, and a rigorous harm study that ranked alcohol above heroin. Strong is currently building a Medicaid access pilot in Oregon targeting treatment-resistant depression and vibe-coding a student member platform from scratch. The drug scheduling system was built on political power, not science, and the research is finally catching up.</p><p>Note: This episode discusses psychedelic substances and drug policy. Not medical advice.</p>

#9 - Sean Droke - From Legos to LLMs: A Software Engineer's Honest Take on the AI Revolution
<p>Sean Droke has been writing code since high school — long before AI existed to write it for him. Now a seasoned software engineer who's shipped production systems, watched the industry shift in real time, and sat in startup boardrooms, Sean brings a rare combination: deep technical roots and an honest, unfiltered take on where all of this is actually going.</p><p><strong>One quick note about this show: </strong>The views expressed by Sean Droke in this episode are solely his own and do not represent the views, positions, or opinions of his employer or any affiliated entity. Nothing discussed in this episode constitutes financial, investment, legal, or professional advice. Listeners should consult qualified professionals before making any financial or investment decisions.</p><p>In this episode, we get into the big questions. Is AI a bubble — or the final abstraction layer that redefines what it means to build? What does vibe coding actually do to product quality, and to the engineers who used to care deeply about getting it right? And when ideas are free and tools are infinite, why does the team matter more than ever?</p><p>We cover:</p><ul><li>The two possible AI bubbles — and why one is more dangerous than you think</li><li>Why Yann LeCun left Meta and what it says about the future of LLMs and AGI</li><li>How agentic tools (Claude Code, MCP, Codex) changed what's actually possible</li><li>The CS education gap: what school teaches vs. what the industry now demands</li><li>Why hobbies are non-negotiable in the age of infinite productivity</li></ul><p>If you've ever felt like the industry is moving faster than you can think — this one's for you.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>
