Was this man just a meme? Putting aside his timewave theory, UFO sightings and insane theories was he actually on to something on nature's wish for complexity? There's a ring of truth to it that's too tasteful to ignore not to mention how psychedelics and nature have great answers to today's issues

I don't know. His qualifications as a biochemist kind of lend him some credibility but I often find that during his lectures he will only weakly tie his ideas together. Very interesting ideas but not entirely sensical, at least the ones that I've heard.

He's at 500 years ahead of time. No wonder no one understands him. Sure some of his theories are wacko. But his main point is that we're all kids. We have no idea what we are or where we are. The fact that we keep pretending that we know anything is ridiculous.

I can agree with that sentiment but McKenna was not the first to expound upon the Socratic paradox in a meaningful way.

He's probably right on somethings but he seems to just throw shit at the wall and see what sticks. If you're asking if he was just a meme you might also want to ask yourself who admires him that isn't just hippies with an interest in introductory existentialism.
