From what I remember, due to the subject matter, hallucinogenic medicine.... The fact that he praises the mental experience gained from DMT, psilocybin and THC usage as well as challenges some major 'world views'.

It's hardly banned. They just took it off of the YouTube channel, but they are still hosting both talks on that very blog page. They even published responses from the people in the videos themselves.

I believe the videos they hosted are redacted/censored. I watched an interview with Graham about it at one point. He is not a fan of TED whatsoever.

Graham Hancock is the man. I've read a few of his books, always gripping to get immersed in his mind's logic.

I haven't watched this yet, but I will when I have time. I am sure it is a very interesting talk but I downvoated you because the title screams upvoat me and is clickbaity. I hope we can try to avoid that on voat.

LOL. This is the title of the video on youtube. Voat 'chose' the title. I guess I could have been more creative and came up with my own title but it is what it is!

I gotcha man. It just seemed more click baity than it needed to be, but I don't blame you for using the exact title of the video you linked to.

> Allready, Voat is suffering from many of the problems reddit had. People posting about karma and front page. I wish we could treat this as a place to find interesting stuff instead of a childish competition to get to the front page.

I remember watching this, its pretty interesting and its the drug in question has a real interesting history behind it. Most people that talk about their experiences with it say it changed their life

Misleading title. It's a TedX talk. Basically anyone can do one of those. Per wikipedia-

TEDx are independent TED-like events, which can be organized by anyone who obtains a free license from TED, agreeing to follow certain principles.
