Part 1 of The Psychedelic Syndicate reveals how the Psychedelic Science Funders Collaborative (PSFC) — a wealthy network of Silicon Valley elites and Burning Man devotees — systematically captured the psychedelic movement by influencing MAPS, funding its subsidiary Lykos’ MDMA clinical trials, and promoting underground therapy through state legalization initiatives.

Part 2 of The Psychedelic Syndicate exposes the compromised foundation of PSFC's influence network — from the abuse scandals that undermined their preferred therapy model, to undisclosed ties with the sole FDA advisory committee member who voted unequivocally for MDMA approval. 

Part 3 of The Psychedelic Syndicate exposes how Silicon Valley's "move fast and break things" mentality infected psychedelic therapy, creating a culture where leaders rationalized patient harm as unavoidable for progress and ultimately embraced Trump administration officials who promised regulatory shortcuts.

Part 4 of The Psychedelic Syndicate reveals PSFC’s strategy to manufacture spiritual and moral authority through academic capture — even as some members align with far-right ideologies that deepen the very crises psychedelics are meant to heal.
