Hancock Demands World Leaders Take Ayahuasca Before Applying for Office
Diary of a CEO
Archaeology WARNING: They Secretly Found Antarctica 300 Years Before Us - Graham Hancock
What was said
"If I had the power to do so, I would insist that every world leader has at least, at least a dozen sessions of ayahuasca before they even apply for the job. I think most of them wouldn't apply for the job at all. And those who did would probably do a much better job because they'd understand themselves better."
Hancock made a bold proposal that all world leaders should be required to undergo at least twelve ayahuasca sessions before seeking office, claiming the psychedelic medicine's capacity to reveal moral failings and induce empathy would disqualify most current power-seekers. He argued those who still applied after such experiences would govern with greater self-awareness and wisdom, addressing the species' immaturity in leadership.
