I was munching amanitas with Mark Niemoeller before Ythan even knew what the fuck a hemp bucket hat looks like.

Nobody, I'm just so dead beat tired of seeing the psychedelic community turn into a bunch of professionals who, to use Terence's words, "stand on each other's shoulders and kick each other's teeth in." We need to stop consuming culture and start creating culture -- remember the infamous creed? And here is his own brother recycling Terence's story to be regurgitated again and again. The majority of his lectures and books, and tons of interviews, are already transposed in digital formats. We don't need someone to tell me what he used to eat for breakfast.








:werd:

the whale hath spoken.

also, aren't there slews of writers out there scraping by on nothing while they write books? isn't that a part of the whole "creative process", the ability to write well while still dealing with all the b.s. that life throws at you (like bills)?

"We are all intoxicated. We were born into an insane asylum, a world crazy-making. We believe what we see and hear. The real myth is the myth of sanity, of rationality: it's a disease that is eating away at the earth. All the poisons flow from our denial. We deny madness, we forget our crimes, we dismember the corpse, we imprison our children. We need poison to poison the poison, to remember the sacred nature of intoxication, the green body of the young god." ~ Dale Pendell

Have you read the Acid Diaries by Christopher Gray? That was pretty damn good and original.

who asks for donations so they can write? Thats like me asking for donations so I can do nothing but jerk off all day.

Shouldn't writing be enjoyable? Can you not write and hold down a job? this guy is highly educated, he cant find a high paying job that will support the bills while he writes?

These two paragraphs are at the end of the link in the OP. They explain where the money is going and why he is asking for it.



This story needs to be told, and I need your help to tell it. This is my reason for posting this project on Kickstarter.com. Through the unique funding mechanism of Kickstarter.com, I am seeking help from friends and fans of "Terry & Denny" and members of the psychedelic community to enable me to write this story. The unfortunate reality in these days is that time is money. Many of us spend so much time just trying to get by that we don’t have time for the creative projects that we would all rather be doing. I'm caught in this trap, as are a lot of people.  But with your support, I’m seeking a temporary escape; I’m seeking to buy the time to tell the tale that I know I have to tell.  I’m betting that it’s one that many people will want to hear, whether they lived through the psychedelic revolution of the sixties or are younger members of the new psychedelic renaissance, or are simply curious about one of the stranger tales of the latter 20th century.  If you think this is a tale worth telling, if you would like to read it, then help me ‘clear the decks’ by pledging your support in exchange for one or more of the incentives listed on the project website. 

As I sit here in April 2011, thinking about the time line for the project, my goal is to have the book completed and available to the world by the end of September 2012.  How will these funds be used?  My goal is to raise $80,000, which may sound like a lot, and it is.  Approximately half of it (35 to 45 thousand) will be used to self-publish 10,000 hard cover copies of the book, and also to pay for editing, layout, publicity, and order fulfillment.  I have identified a reputable self-publisher who will work closely with me through all stages of this process.  The remainder of the funds (35 to 40 thousand) will be used to buy time, to partially defray expenses over the 9 to 12 months that I estimate it will take to research and write the book in a way that does justice to the story. If you want to contribute to the realization of this creative project, and receive something very special in return, then I respectfully request your support.  I promise you a ripping good read!

i really dont give a shit what dennis mckenna thinks

experience is subjective

these pseudo philosophy books piss me off

having said that, i actually read the OPS post and apparently this is more like a biography, but my point holds true for his other works :lol:

Fuck this noise.

Terence trail blazed his own path and un-earthed the gems he did because he had the cajones and the intelligence.

Don't let his brother piggyback on his success by asking for money (to write a book ABOUT TERENCE, no less. How ironic can we be here?).

Klea McKenna, Terence's daughter, attempted a similar feat by selling off a printed art collection of photos, receipts, documents, and other traveling paraphernalia of Terence's - with her only contribution being the "scrapbooking" component.

DON'T CONFUSE THE RAFT WITH THE SHORE.

Yes, I used cruise control. This is fucking ridiculous.




look at what jenny hendrix is doing to her HALF BROTHERS fucking estate

no talentless fuck

i wish hendrix was a little smarter with his money.. he'd probably be alive still

You guys really think he is just trying to just make a quick buck? cmon, wake up..Some people really don't have any clue what the mckennas were all about. This guy has been a pioneer researcher of psychedelics for over 40 years..now he's a founding member of hefter research which is using psilocybin, and other things, in human studies..Dennis is a bloody genius, and there is sooo much they've experienced that they didn't even put into true hallucinations or the other books. What they have done for the psychedelic movement alone makes me eager to help him out a with what i can. Besides, this book will be mind blowing for sure :mushroom2:

Is this a scam?  The man has had a position at the Universtiy of Minnesota for quite some time now.  I am also sure that he has ranked in quite a bit of dough over the years from the sales of the books that he has written independently or in conjunction with his brother.  Among other things, being one of the top research guy's for Aveda probably paid handsomely.  I think that Dennis can fund his own project.




He's at the University of Minnesota? Really? What does he do there?

I really enjoy Terence Mckenna's work. I love listening to his lectures that I get from the Psychedelic Salon. That being said, I don't know if I'll donate or not.

His one class that I could find being offered is this:
Quote:

Plants in Human Affairs:

Study in Hawaii January 3-15, 2010! This 12-day intensive introduces students to ethnobotany, ethnopharmacology and plants in human affairs through lectures, field trips and presentations by local experts. Course fee $2,500 for food, lodging and field trips. Registration deadline October 15, 2010. For more information contact the Center for Spirituality and Healing.




I can see the headlines now.

"Amazing, Shroomery has funded my trip to Hawaii!"
:lol:

This thread is a classic example of what's wrong with the shroomery.

:learyharvard:

"I hate this thread/idea, therefore I'm going to waste my highly valued time explaining just why I'm a douche with nothing better to do."

Some people here just shouldn't have been born.

:facepalm:

As for the project, I'll be donating if it hits 67%, though I can't see it getting there; maybe I'm wrong?
