26. I was into him because I heard a lot about him from friends. Then I read a book of his (forgot which one) but that killed it for me.

His theory of evolution is the most significant idea to be brought forth by the western world. Most scientists disagree with him out of the most obvious kind of jealous butthurt. They can't cope that a hippie stoner made the most significant "sciencerino" discovery.

It's especially hilarious because Terence doesn't even give that much of a fuck about science. He basically just made the stoned ape theory as a side note. Now all the science onions boys that go on Rogan all have to admit that he was probably right. It's based.

Anonymous Sat Oct 31 07:51:29 2020 No.16690386

I don't think McKenna ever pretended to be anything he wasn't.

He's a bit of an upper crust snake oil salesman, sure... But he's a lot of fun. Take solace OP you grumpy gremlin that he won't have any lasting academic impact, and his theories would likely throw the world into absolute chaos if they were ever taken up with any vigor,

As a pioneering spokesman for, and reporter on the DMT experience, I don't think there is any better. You trying doing as much DMT as Terry without the fear and tell me it's nothing. lol

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 31 08:28:17 2020 No.16690489 I only listened to his "lecture" on Finnegans Wake and you know what, this is what real philosophy should be about, raising our ordinary asses to a higher level of appreciation by talking about it from an other perspective with mystical words.

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 31 11:17:51 2020 No.16691097 >>16690489 Rightly put, anon. Greek philosophy wouldn't have been a success if it weren't for Homer's dramas and lyrical poetry. Philosophy has its roots in mysticism. Literature is occult. Everything is just too modern

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 31 11:25:10 2020 No.16691124 >>16690386 That's true, he didn't even hide that he worked for the CIA atfer his arrest for drug smuggling. McKenna is based although he is a filthy cybernetist transhuman shill.

There's no such thing as growing out, but there is growing up - you learn that you can disagree with something and not drop somebody's way of thinking completely.
There are things I'd consider true some things he said and reject others, there's no need to antagonistic towards anybody really. Take only what you need and go on with your life, instead of talking how much you dislike somebody.

However I'd gladly have him as my trip sitter while on datura.
