He has a very euro-centric view of world history.

Makes a change, doesn't it.

On the first article...maybe shrooms gives us an insight into what it's like to experience dying? I hope not, my shroom trips are always scary >> ^Fusionaut:

Psilocybin actually decreases blood flow and connections in the brain rather than stimulates. Can a decrease in blood flow cause the brain to increase over time? http://boingboing.net/2011/04/15/shrooms-limit-brain.html
Also, the human brain has actually been decreasing over the last 30,000 years yet we are still becoming smarter: http://news.discovery.com/human/shrinking-brains-intelligence-110207.

From what I've read of Terrence McKenna on wikipedia it seems that his theory is based more on speculation and spirituality than science.

I totally would have believed this theory without researching until he started talking about aliens. Whenever aliens get involved in a theory of our evolution it sets off my bullshit detector.

Fixed! Thanks for pointing it out. Things are good, I've been a bit antisocial on the site lately, just moved into a new house that needs a lot of work. Glad you're back though!

hopin' yer safe n' dry.

that's hilarious. salvia, one strange ticket.
I took a bong rip sitting alone in the dark in closet of some powerful extract.
I turned into the plant and like a vine grows along a wall, I morphed into the floor I was sitting on and felt some sort vegetable overmind trying to talk to me all while flying thru a warp which felt almost too fast, almost violent in chaos and strong sensation of flying. Then before I knew it, the world came back and stepping out of my closet, I saw a cristalline flash radiating from every object in my room and I think I saw objects as pure concepts, not matter but merely ideas. Each object looked so fucking singular and purposeful, as if glowing/hovering/rotating all at the same time, that I understood a deeper minimalist approach to objects.
Anyway, at one point through all that, I saw cathedral looking archways in my carpet with people dancing inside them, maybe elves.
Good good stuff. I like the objectiveness of this drug, as if it's a parallel world everyone can just step in and start pointing things out in common.
Terrence Mckenna and others...
Ok enough for now...

humankind's brush with greatness in mind expansion, came from agrarians and their cattle, and the poo with the shrooms......Terrence McKenna, baby.....psylocybe opened up worlds or socialization and creativity........

"Hominids...Before they were truly humans" dunno man, ancient-stone-tool-people sound like you and we, with limited socialization.......

and sixty thousand years ago is quite a stretch from 6 million years ago....find some more skulls gravediggers......

We came from what??? and from where??? Starseed, perhaps??

The tags on this post, with relation to its content, reflect a stretch on the part of the zealous poster.......and the ol'knuckles are sore from dragging them around.....
