Guest speaker: Terence McKenna
PROGRAM NOTES:
[NOTE: All quotations are by Terence McKenna.]
“The world is not made of anti-mu mesons, quarks, and photons, and electromagnetic fields. Reality is made of words.”
“Language is something that springs from the biological matrix, and the neurological matrix, within us.”
“Culture is more and more consciously becoming a project carried out in the domain of language by, for instance, propaganda both governmental and commercial.”
“Once they pledge allegiance to a given model of reality, then that absolves all necessity for further thought.”
“Television, introduced at the close of World War II, has become a form of electronic heroin, and it isn't even your trip. They don't even let you go on your own trip, you get a trip designed by Madison Avenue.”
“I'm not an advocate for everything that rolls out of the laboratory. I'm an advocate for things sanctioned by millennia of usage.”
“I'm not an advocate of drugs. I'm an advocate of psychedelics.”
