Episode notes

The Esselen bookstore made a special deal with Bantam and got a couple of cases of it for this weekend. After 20 years of being ignored, it was nice to see that these people were paying attention.

It's so informal that I don't even know the name of it. Does anybody have a catalog?

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. Well what the hell kind of contract is that? It means that you were born into a kind of enslavement to a linguistically powered paradigm, a virtual reality within which you will walk around your entire life.” “The clue that something weird is going on on this planet is ourselves. 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
