On Paradise Earth

[Sakkadelic]

I came across this channel recently and I find it to be very informative and quite balanced so I wanted to share it with all of you. I like listening to it when doing chores or before going to sleep, I am now listening to the parts related to Homa/Haoma. here's the channel description:

On Paradise Earth explores humanity’s long-held belief in the sanctity of living creation by examining ethnobotanical records and religious practices of long-lost cultures.
We investigate themes of world mythology in the context of art history to reveal the roles of mind-altering substances in developing concepts of deity and paradise on Earth.
Ethnobotanist and conservation biologist, Dr. Andrew McDonald, shines a new light on vanished world views of distant peoples and invites our audience to renew their appreciation for the wisdom of the ages.
Join us in exploring the realms of human conscience, civilization and world mythology to revive and reinforce our timeless connections to the natural world.

Looks interesting. The author has some papers here. He seems to propose the lotus plant as Soma. I'll definitely either listen to the videos or read the papers, as I wonder what arguments could support lotus as Soma.
