Tulpamancy - Meditation That Makes Friends

Explore the emerging field of tulpamancy in this 14-minute TEDx talk by Luca Del Deo, a student scholar at Harvard Divinity School. Delve into the intersection of meditation, psychology, and neuroscience as Del Deo discusses how unusual meditative practices can impact agency, mental health, and perceptions of reality. Learn about the speaker's research on how meditation can radically alter personality and perception, and gain insights into the development of an ethical, comparative framework for future studies in this area. While the talk may be informative, viewers are advised not to consider it a substitute for professional mental health advice, as research in tulpamancy is still an emerging field of study.
