But probability theory has a built in assumption that has never been thoroughly looked at. The clues emerge when we go around in the circle and everybody gives a brief chance.

Guest speaker: Terence McKenna PROGRAM NOTES: [NOTE: All quotations are by Terence McKenna.] “Culture is the sanctioned virtual reality.” “They try to tell you that you're in a social contract, but when you ask to see your signature on the document they tell you that you were born into this contract.

Obviously! I mean, we are like a fart at the opera.” “History is no longer rationally apprehendable by the systems which created it.” “We're taking bone marrow from the children of the future in order to keep a corpse alive.” Download MP3 PCs – Right click, select option Macs – Ctrl-Click, select option
