You have a suspicious mind. In my experience, only dishonest people think this way.

I'm not telling you what to believe. I'm telling you what I heard. As follow-up, a redditor informed me Stamets did a Coast-to-coast interview wherein he described the situation concerning his biopesticide patent- basically that he can write his own check, but his insistence on a stipulational clause that it be produced and marketed means nobody will buy it. They want to buy it and shelf it.

If this was at all an incredible story I would understand your cynical skepticism, but in light of a history where these kinds of industrial sabotage are quite normal, I don't think you're acting reasonably.

I'm saying, " i heard from a friend who heard at a lecture who believes it because they have PhDs".

You'd have me say, "I read it in an article published on the internet by a person who heard it from a person and it's believable because this video of the horse's mouth "

Stamets could lie on video or to a journalist just as easily. I have no reason to suspect this though. Maybe if he was a politician or someone with a history of lying. It seems situational and you seem to be grasping at straws for a reason to doubt everything.

Paul Stamets video https://youtu.be/XI5frPV58tY is very inspiring. I have posted it here before in the past.
I have read most of his books, ordered and used many products from his fungi . com website and have awesome success in my urban garden! I recommend to all my green thumb friends.

But truly, I feel this guy is on the right track. I wish the best for his mission.

Of course they did. People are so quick to put down shit like this, but the government DOES NOT HAVE OUR BEST INTERESTS IN MIND.

It's all about money for these people. Not safety. Not health. It never has been.

The world doesn't always have a shiny hyperlink to the facts. Believe me, I scoured the web myself for a video of that presentation, alas, to no avail. If I find it I will post it. I'll ask my friend if there was any recordings later today I didn't think to at the time.

Paul Stamets is an eminent researcher and innovator in mycology. He's a wizard with fungi. He's got many patents that could really upset all sorts of industries by introducing fungi into the mix. Remember how cannabis was criminalized to protect the oil, paper, and cotton industries?

Assassination attempts apparently happen quite often. It's a business and political tactic that needs more exposure. Bill Cooper, those doctors I mentioned, the Kennedy brothers, the elder Tsarnaev brother, Gaddafi. The motives and effects are endless

. Obama can order strikes legally. How many people do so illegally? We've certainly got enough trained killers in the world.

Just because it's boat doesn't mean shit. We're users. We create and share content. The only rule I currently know of is "nothing illegal." If I've missed others please direct me to them so I can evaluate them.

I think i watched an interesting documentary of his - smart guy, he has done a lot of research in the fungus field. don't know why anyone woudl try to do that although our society is pretty "fragile" these days.

Could you please specify what he patented/has done that he'd be targeted by assasin, like give a specific article of the named research or something. Also fun fact from his wiki:

" Paul Stamets is an accomplished martial artist, holding a black belt in Taekwondo (1979), and in Hwa Rang Do (1994).[citation needed]"

I've never heard of this guy before but here's a youtube video of him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAw_Zzge49c

he's really cool guy, I used to not give a fuck about mushrooms, but after watching one of his speeches live, and to see his passion for a subject, made me actually care about mushrooms and what they can do for the world.

This info comes from a good friend who attended Stamets lecture at the International Herbal Summit. He told me Stamets fought off a would be assassin and now carries a pistol for oersonal defense. I have no reason to doubt my friend. I have three reasons to believe him:

Dr. Jeff Bradstreet MD, Dr. Bruce Hedendal DC PhD, and Dr. Teresa Ann Sievers MD.
