Description: Wisdom is a breakthrough in science education that explains the effects of psychedelics on the brain within the predictive coding neuroscience framework. In Wisdom you can hold the psilocybin molecule and fit it into the receptor and you can even experience and understand how synesthesia happens. Don’t forget to dance while you’re learning!
Review: ‘Wisdom’ is an interactive educational experience that teaches you what happens inside your brain when you take a psychoactive substance like a magic mushroom. It lasts just under 10 minutes and you then get to enter your email to see your “truffle dance” if you wish. So the first question I asked myself when it was over is…”Why on earth I am paying for this?” It’s not just a con given the lack of content, but its more an app to capture your responses in the interactive parts meaning you are giving your data for free even if they benefit from both the payment and the data you are providing! This is not something I will be recommending unless it becomes free, but even then it has to be said it is too wordy for most people to understand and too short to make it worth the download anyway.
