In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

'How to Change Your Mind' isn't your typical Hollywood 'woke-fest,' but it does frame its exploration of psychedelics with a thoroughly modern attitude. Traditional worldviews are mostly relegated to the background as the narrative celebrates ‘new’ thinking, sometimes at the expense of genuine pluralism.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show primarily explores the history and science of psychedelics, focusing on personal stories and scientific research. It generally lets the narrative emerge from interviews and studies rather than shoehorning in identity politics or forced representation, although it does occasionally nod toward current cultural trends.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional cultural norms, especially around religion and morality, are reinterpreted through a modern lens. The series often challenges established views on drug use and healing, seemingly portraying older approaches as uninformed and in need of updating to fit contemporary values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The show leans strongly in favor of psychedelics, rarely offering extended airtime to dissenting voices. Critical or traditional perspectives are presented but mostly as historical obstacles rather than valid alternatives, creating a sense of ideological uniformity.
