The Blue Lotus Affair: Spirituality and Micro Intuition Hacking

As Saudi Arabia diversified from oil revenues under the historic Vision 2030 initiative, and as we witness a human species with declining intuitive capacities, the era of the Blue Lotus has dawned. A native species to western Africa and the southern parts of the Arabian Peninsula, the Blue Lotus genetic code offers humanity a rare opportunity to reclaim its lost senses. In this moderated talk Panel between Sara Almutlaq and Rahel Aima, we explore the recent rise of the Blue Lotus from a naturally occurring ecological species, to a bio hacked genetic code that hopes to re-engineer our consciousness. Through the panel we explore the ethics of biogenetics and the strange events that surround it, from Neom, through Alula to the Blue Lotus urban agricultural initiative in Riyadh.
