Guest speaker: Terence McKenna
PROGRAM NOTES:
[NOTE: All quotations are by Terence McKenna.]
“History is anomalous, and there is no way to get used to it.”
“The miracle of our predicament is not how long everything has been in place but how brief it all has been.”
“Each stage of cosmic development proceeded more quickly than the stage which preceded it.”
“A singularity is a place where the rules are broken. A miracle is a singularity.”
“That's part of the nature of a fractal cosmos, nothing is utterly unannounced.”
“History is a series of approximations of the final singularity.”
“I believe in extraterrestrials, but I believe that real extraterrestrials are so peculiar that the job is to recognize them.”
“So when you look at the eschaton what you see, strangely enough, is your own face.”
“The things I encounter that I call elves or gnomes, it's just a gloss. I mean, they're small, and they have the archetype. They're more like leprechauns, and this maybe raises a racial issue.”
