Any thoughts on Terrence McKenna's alien shrooms theory?

It basically goes that mushrooms (specifically psilocybin mushrooms) are biomechanical alien probes sent to Earth, meant to detect intelligent life.
>>
Was just thinking about this today. Could be true.
>>
Considering how different they are for other lifeforms, and the capacity they have as extremophiles.

It's a valid theory.
>>
People have been harvesting shrooms for thousands of years, doesn't make sense as to why they haven't contacted us yet (unless it's purely observational)
>>
>>18711146
Every time they are ingested is a form of contact being made. You may be able to perceive their dimensional frequency while tripping and interact with those entities
>>
>>18711128
Except they are not that different and are comprised of extremely similar genomes to everything else found on earth
>>
>>18711165
Prove this.

Mushrooms are so fucking weird so it's a possibility.
>Mushroom DNA is more similar to human DNA than plants
>Mushroom spores are made chitin, one of the hardest naturally produced substances in the world
>Mushroom spores can travel through space

>>18711008
The real question is...why the fuck is DMT in almost fucking everything..
>>
>>18711620
I think they are starting to push the 1 kid agenda again, caught the back end of a story on the news the other day.

He mentioned once that the CIA asked him questions and now people think he's a shill. I can argue with you forever. I don't agree with everything McKenna said, especially when it came to human freedom and things challenging it. Like that, and feminism (he loved to paint shit in masculine vs. feminine). But he was brilliant and he was right, psychedelics are boundary dissolving drugs and he said it himself, whether it is a capitalist utopia or communist state psychedelics will make you question conventional wisdom. Which is why all forms of governments outlaw them. You can't bottle chaos, so if that was the CIA's plan then they're foolish for thinking they can control chaos. Also they are psionic stimulants but that's another story.

i donno but its some real spiritual shit
I was a hardcore atheist before I did shrooms
I had contact for a cosmic light being im pretty sure was god
it was too real the be a hallucination iv tripped on lsd before it wasnt nearly this profound
>>
>>18711008
McKenna's so smart he turnt stupit
>>
>>18711146
You have it backwards. Stay pleb.
