In this episode of the Search Engine podcast, Sarah Haider shares her transformative experience with ayahuasca and how it reshaped her views on online activism and culture wars. After two years of co-hosting a podcast focused on debating left-wing perspectives, Sarah, who is a former Muslim activist, decided to try the powerful psychedelic. This journey drastically reduced her outrage and prompted her to step away from the podcast, as she found the relentless online conflict unproductive and harmful. Although she has re-engaged with the online world, her approach has since become more thoughtful and less anger-driven, reflecting a deeper understanding of online discourse and a commitment to her mental well-being.
