Mike & Maurice's Mind Escape

Tonight I sit down to discuss the subjects that have been at the heart of Mind Escape since the beginning and give an honest appraisal of my thoughts and philosophies after 7years of interviewing experts, researchers, authors, woo merchants, and fellow inquisitive minds. Mind Escape is in the process of a massive overhaul as I continue to learn, grow, share, and evolve. I am creating a free philosophy course on the origins and history of philosophy and how those ideas shaped the modern world we navigate today. Also on my patreon page I will be creating a philosophy course on how to investigate and navigate the fringe communities and topics and giving and honest assessment of the main researchers and calling out the snake oil salesmen.  *Watch our documentary “As Within So Without: from UFOs to DMT”: ⁠ https://youtu.be/ao9fyP-lS2I?si=zQI3ok4aFNQkvl31 *Check out our new Merch store.
