Problems with Terry McK:
He misled his audiences about his psilo usage when at the peak of his fame. He had backed of big doses due to nihilistic trips. If people had known this he would have faced tough questions and lost out on the guru lifestyle.

Eschaton 22/12/2012 - this should be obvious.

Read Ken Wilber instead.

>instead
Surely you mean "also"?

Life is short, anon. Terry own span proves that.
Read his brothers book. If he couldn't persuade Dennis of his theories, how should we think of them?

What an odd thing to say. Not only evaluating a whole lifetime of visionary work on the opinion of one other person, but in fact the one person in the world MOST conditioned to be competitive with it. Weird...

Check out the album Alien Dreamtime now, anon. Before it's too late.

Scepticism arising from sibling psychodynamics rather than familiarity with, yet rational incredulity towards T McK's ideas - this is your thesis? Even though Dennis is no novice psychonaut himself? Really?

Those Shrooms are adept at hiding.

No, the post I was responding to was introducing it as criteria. I was simply saying it was irrelevant.

tfw you hit a good patch tho...like an old timey prospector finding gold.

>most authors writing about psychedelics are going to be pretty biased in their favour,
And with good reason. I haven't read McKenna but had shrooms twice. One of the most interesting things I've ever done. Try them anon.

If it's more of his "early humans/apes ate psychedelics which eventually gave us higher cognitive ability and consciousness" shit, then no, it's idiotic. Evolution doesn't work like that, straight-up, you don't inherit experiences from your ancestors just genetic information. inb4 psychedelics change and grow your brain chemistry maaannnnnn

Experiences impact social culture, which becomes the environment that genes are either adaptive or not, therefore influencing what genes are successful.

Hi,

Do you understand what selection pressures are?
