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
