>Outsight was the greatest thing that never happened in psychedelia. The project was planned in the 1950s by Humphrey Osmond, neurophilosopher John Smythies, and author Aldous Huxley. The objective was to collect, as Osmond briefed, ‘personal reflections on the experience of taking mescaline by 50 to 100 notable subjects in philosophy, literature and science.’[50] These leading intellectuals included C. D. Broad, A. J. Ayer, H. H. Price, J. C. Ducasse, Gilbert Ryle, Carl Jung, Albert Einstein, and novelist Graham Greene. A lot of interest was shown by these figures but, alas, the funding for Outsight was never awarded—a rejection the organizers blamed partly on the stuffy reductivism of the time.

>it was certainly unfortunate that the first wave of psychedelia occurred concomitantly with the point where the philosophy of mind was at its most reductive. That is, at the point in the West where the intelligentsia favoured, spurned on by arguments in linguistic philosophy and in psychology, a view which reduced the mind to mere verbal confusion, function, physical behaviour or physical identity. Were an Outsight re-proposed today, with our less-reductive and multifarious theories as to the mind-matter relation—the ‘world-knot’ as Schopenhauer called it—funding may be more forthcoming.

>unfortunate
that's putting it mildly. the record of a mass psychedelic wave rolling through oxbridge & elsewhere & thoroughly rinsing the greatest minds in analytic philosophy would be the comfort read of the year

>whereof one cannot speak, thereof one might be tripping one's fucking balls off

How to understand Deleuze? He's fucking difficult.

i can handle land. he's no spring chicken any more. if he starts getting wicked flashbacks to the CCRU and turns into a werewolf or something i think i can outrun him

ideally you would want to design something like a trip for each one of these guys tho. i doubt harris would be into laser tag, he seems more like a meditate in the mountains kind of guy. i'm fine with this. peterson, it's gotta be mushrooms or peyote in the desert. something shamanic.

zizek i line up the biggest rails i can get my hands on and we play super-intense ping-pong and i ask him about the history of structuralism in france.

i love thinking about this.
