Is Terence Mckenna ascended scientist or /pseudo/?

I've listened to the entirety of every McKenna lecture I could find online.

The mans intellect was vast. But I would primarily characterize him as an experimental philosopher. In that he was exploring the boundaries of consciousnesses through psychedelic drugs.

pseudo for sure. He might have been smart and intellectual, but it was all pseudo at best

Sometimes he says shit which is just a barrage of jargon, idk what to make of it

Typical word salad supposed to impress psychedelic pseuds.

>the study of consciousness through psychedelic drugs
it could provide tremendous insight regarding the way our brain functions by studying what happens when we throw it off balance
>mckenna
i don't believe anything i've heard him say, unless he's done some non-meme talks it just sounds like the typical ''''''deep'''''' psychedelics user

Wow surprised to see this here. The other day I was tempted to post him in >>8953165 because Mckenna talked similarly about how he thinks that humans purpose may be to build AI which will build it's own AI. But I didn't because I figured sci wouldn't like.

despite it's neckbeard connotations simulation theory is something which interests me greatly.

I read someone once that someone theorised that simulations of life become a tool to model universes and probabilities.
Eg.
Small scale: to compare effectiveness of political systems.

Lage scale: compare slightly different laws of physics on the outcome of the universe.

Jan Irvin exposed him. Just a pied piper of idiocy.

explain. one can understand why fbi/cia co-opted the movement but it still doesnt provide evidence why

as an Anthropologist, his "Stoned Ape" theory was both amusing and interesting, although I'd personally place him as a stoner with a degree.
