Guest speaker: Terence McKenna
PROGRAM NOTES:
In this recording, Terence McKenna discusses his wave theory, which he claims predicts every moment up until December 21, 2012. He addresses the common question of what happens after this date, suggesting a series of increasingly strange scenarios. A less strange scenario he proposes involves a sudden shift in human behavior where everyone begins to act appropriately, inspired by Buddhist and Taoist principles. McKenna humorously imagines that this might lead people to take off their clothes and go outside, although he admits he can't predict what would happen beyond that point.
Among other things, he says, "I think, in a sense, technology is the the alchemical journey toward the condensation of the soul, and the union of spirit and matter in some kind of hyper-object."
Podcast 706 – Terence McKenna “One Last Timewave Rap”
Friday, June 21, 2024 • Duration 01:32:30
Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com
Guest speaker: Terence McKenna
PROGRAM NOTES:
WARNING! If you don't want to hear Terence talking about his Timewave idea yet again, then you should skip this podcast.
In this recording, Terence McKenna introduces a concept he humorously names the "Habit Reflex Increment" (HRI). He discusses the need for a unit to measure habit, reflecting on the significance of such a concept in understanding human behavior. McKenna jokes about not naming the unit after himself, contrasting his name with those of renowned scientists like Ohm or Ampere, which he finds more fitting for scientific terms.
He then shifts his focus to a broader philosophical reflection, asserting that the struggle humanity faces is not eternal. He conveys an optimistic message, declaring that "novelty is winning." According to McKenna, the emergence of new ideas and innovations will ultimately prevail, bringing positive transformation and progress.
Of course, you will have to listen to many more little details about the Timewave than a lot of people can put up with.

PROGRAM NOTES:
Date this interview was recorded: October 22, 2018.
Today's podcast centers around microdosing psychedelics, LSD in particular. Much of today's interest in microdosing psychedelics blossomed after the publication of The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide, which was written by Dr. James Fadiman, who has been featured here in the Salon in the past. And we are fortunate today to listen to a conversation between Jim Fadiman and Ayelet Waldman, author of A Really Good Day: How Microdosing Made a Mega Difference in My Mood, My Marriage, and My Life. Their conversation was moderated by Mike Margolies, who you already know from his work a year or so ago on the Blue Dot Tour, from which we heard many podcasts. This conversation is one of a series of live streamed events presented by Psychedelic Seminars, the San Francisco Psychedelic Society, and Simulation.
"I think psychedelics are great for people who don't like meditation, and I think that for people who like meditation they're also very good." -James Fadiman

Guest speaker: Robert Anton Wilson
PROGRAM NOTES:
Date this lecture was recorded: Sometime in 1987.]
[NOTE: All quotations are by Robert Anton Wilson.]
There truly is no way to succinctly describe a talk by Robert Anton Wilson. This is one that you will want to listen to more than once.
"The first time I tried [ketamine] I had an experience unique in my whole life. I was absolutely convinced I was god. I have had that suspicion on occasion, but this time I was absolutely convinced."
"I'm really not about to set up as an exponent/proponent telling people to go around trying [ketamine]. It's a very interesting experience, but I think it's post-graduate work for those who have already been through the more elementary courses. I don't recommend it for beginners."
"I think that the best way to achieve immortality is by not dying at all."

PROGRAM NOTES:
[NOTE: All quotations are by Alan Watts.]
"If you have a radio, you don't only need an antenna, you also need a ground. So what happens in the world of mysticism, of psychedelic visions and so on, needs to be grounded."
"Any law of this nature, any law that tries to enforce by the power of the state its morals, or your own business in looking after your own nervous system, is in fact an unenforceable law. And all unenforceable laws lead to blackmail and public demoralization."
"The rule for all terrors is to head straight into them."
"LSD is one such chemical that produces the curious effect of making you aware of the polarity of things."
