  1. “Television is by nature the dominator drug par excellence. Control of content, uniformity of content, repeatability of content make it inevitably a tool of coersion, brainwashing, and manipulation.” – Terrence McKenna

  2. “We are told ‘no’, we’re unimportant, we’re peripheral. ‘Get a degree, get a job, get this, get that.’ And then you’re a player, but you don’t want to play in the game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.”

    "Western civilization is a loaded gun pointed at the head of this planet.”

    – Terrence McKenna

  3. "I think it's going to get weirder and weirder and weirder. And finally, it's going to be so weird that people are going to have to talk about how weird it is..."

  4. "Culture is not your friend"

    It invites people to diminish themselves and dehumanize themselves, and yet... and see that we have the money, the power, the medical understanding, the scientific know-how, the love, and the community to produce a kind of human paradise.

    But we are led by the least among us, the least intelligent, the least noble, the least visionary, and we do not fight back against the dehumanizing values that are handed down as control icons.

  5. "Culture is not your friend."

    We understand the felt presence of experience is what is most important. But the culture is a perversion."

    It fetishizes objects, creates consumer mania, increases endless forms of false happiness, endless forms of false understanding in the form of swirly religions and silly cults.

  6. "Culture is not your friend."

    Culture is for other people's convenience and the convenience of various institutions, churches, companies, tax collection schemes.

    It insults you. It disempowers you. It uses and abuses you.

    None of us are well treated by culture. And yet we glorify, you know, the creative potential of the individual, the rights of the individual. "

  8. On the term "black hole" extending beyond astrophysics to general metaphorical use, from Chown's book

    It's funny seeing Terence McKenna cited, given how he repeatedly described the theory of black holes (in its form at the time) as the limit case for credulity

  9. A cosmic alignment of the planets will occur on October 7, which will see the publication of two important new books:

    Graham St John's *Strange Attractor: The Hallucinatory Life of Terence McKenna* edgecentral.net/terence-mckenn

    and the long-awaited new Thomas Pynchon novel, *Shadow Ticket* thomaspynchon.com/an-october-s #TerenceMcKenna #ErikDavis #psychedelic #ThomasPynchon

  10. In You Feel Completely Peculiar, PCs explore a strange dimension while wearing protective Huxley Suits. They travel through hyperspace and enter through a chrysanthemum-like gate. This first video & song sort of set up the adventure. #ttrpg #terencemckenna #psychonaut youtube.com/watch?v=1OWF6qNjpsI

  11. @patamystic @edyother It's truly my pleasure. I was just chatting with my comrade @benda last night about the importance of supporting indie & especially now fediverse artists.

    It's imperative that we create and celebrate our own culture and not what the corpos slam down our throats. More now than ever.

  12. Poi dicono che le veline dei bar non servono a nulla, ed invece servono a prendere appunti quando si legge "l'ordine nascosto: la vita segreta dei funghi" di #merlinsheldrake.

  13. Depressed that I can't find anything on the internet about an event I attended with @kleptones & others in either 1996 or 1997 in #Brighton at the #BrightonDome which featured #TerenceMcKenna via video link & #RobertAntonWilson & #NicholasSaunders in person speaking about #psychedelics, #history, #consciousness and #death

    I might have to go in to the attic and start digging in the archives to see if I can find any paper relics of this remarkable occasion.

  19. Fear is a waste of energy. I have shut down all automatic processes that burned precious resources panicking about the state of the planetary body and rerouted them to coming up with creative and novel ideas for the Mage of Aquarius ARG.

  20. Fans of Terence McKenna, Robert Anton Wilson, and Philip K. Dick might enjoy this book, which explores their weird (and weirdly similar) experiences in the early 1970s: the McKenna brothers' La Chorrera experiment, Wilson's Chapel Perilous, and PKD's 2-3-74
