More than a batshit insane genius.:daisy: Love him. A man with that rarest of things - original ideas.
He's a wonderful genius. If he was that insane, he would have less people listening to him and more people trying to get him commited. People just say that because they fear what he speaks of. It's alien so they reject it.
Wish I could have had access to the ideas of people like TM when I was 20. There's definitely a lot of reasons to have high hopes for the future. Like the man said, we're moving faster and faster toward...something.... T.C.
All I've read is Food of the Gods, unfortunately. It was very interesting, though. I might also say that having read so much of Pinchbeck's work, I may have well read more of McKenna's work, seeing as how Pinchbeck tends to allude to McKenna's ideas so often.
I read true hallucinations. It's a good read. I will have to admit sometimes he and his brother are seriously out there, but there's still alot of genious stuff to be taken from what he says. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c8an2XZ3MU"]YouTube - Terence Mckenna - Culture is your operating system
