I find his monotone distracting. I'd prefer to read a text of his interview, but I think he made some very good points. Things even I haven't thought of, and I'd thought I'd thought of everything.

way to take society from one way to another."

Well, yes he did trash science to a degree in the fact that materiality and it's limits are what's encroaching upon our safety as a species, and I certainly agree with that. Along with the paternal expressions of control. "Unless you can smash it with a hammer", it doesn't exist.

As for the mushrooms, I can't imagine how elder tribes and shamans dealth with the alternate reality that psychedelics produced. Other worldly. Piercing the psychic veil. Time tripping. It's a brave new world out there too.

Thank you for the courteous response. I enjoyed it. Hope you enjoyed listening to McKenna.
I'm going to revisit that and take notes.
