Krishnamacharya took many of his yoga poses directly from Western gymnastics. It was his students who took yoga to the West in the 1960s. So who stold what? Is was a synthesis of Western and Eastern knowledge.

Kriya yoga is already available through the Self Realization Fellowship (SRF). You don’t need a studio to do it in. You get the instructions and do it in your home. There is also something called Kundalini Yoga which is in a studio and combines physical movement with mantras and pranayama. I find it interesting when someone talks about “oneness” in a spiritual context, but then makes a dualistic distinction between the physical and mental, when there actually is no such division. They are intertwined. The “Hatha Yoga Pradipika” outlines that mastering the densest part of yourself (the body) gives you the tools, stillness, and energy required to master the subtlest part of yourself (the mind and spirit).

There are eight men and four women on the jury which could give an edge to Brand. But who knows?

I use Gemini for routine searches. If I am doing research on controversial or sensitive subjects, I find Grok to be the least censored.

There is a glimmer of hope in the rise of the democratic socialists and politicians like El-Sayed provided they address the real economic issues and corrupt capitalism. The identity politics of the establishment democrats served the interests of neo-liberal capitalists and didn’t address any of the structural issues. As for AI, it has now become a necessity to leverage this technology to the max in order to navigative an increasingly difficult world.

You aren't missing out. Continue your efforts. There is no magic pill that will change everything in an hour. That is fantasy.

Do .5 grams. Wait at least 1 hour. Based on how you feel add more to go deeper. If it is a first trip and you are alone, don't go over 1 gram. Mushrooms can differ widely in strength. Know what type you are taking. For example, I take enigmas which are up to 4 times stronger.

Consider that focusing on nonduality is cherry picking and the context is missing, particularly purification. Take ancient texts more seriously. This forum as a whole has a bias towards intellectualization.
