Terence McKenna was stunningly brilliant—many decades ahead of his time.

Those that dismiss him as a “druggy” don’t get it—he had more creative and amazing ideas from any one of his trips than most folks will ever see in a lifetime.

For those who want to listen to him—an amazing speaker btw—here are many hours of podcasts included here:

“Terence McKenna was stunningly brilliant—many decades ahead of his time.”

I agree. The thing I always wondered was whether the psychedelics imparted this to him or if he was just a brilliant person who happened to experiment with psychedelics. Based on his brother’s recorded conversations I believe it was the latter.

I’m bookmarking that link. He’s somebody who can hold an audience’s attention for hours. But he compresses so much profound information and insights into it that a recording is better so you can back up or pause to ponder what he’s saying.

I’ve never tried psychedelics, though. I’ve never settled on whether to believe they’re a gift from God or the remnants of the forbidden fruit. :-)
