It precipitates an us against 'it' mentality. I see nothing wrong with such a thing.

I think is talking out his ass, getting too caught up in his thoughts, and encouraging psychedelic drug use that ultimatly harms the group it sets out to heal.
Nothing was said that couldnt be understood by an open mind in a sociology class.

when "it" is culture, it is a "them". anyway, what good does it do to be against a thing? you can take actions to change it, but it doesn't do much to just sit there and talk badly about it. if i have trash on my floor, i pick it up and put it in the trash can. or the recycle bin.

are death threats against Pub rules? Honestly it makes me really uncomfortable for you to say such a thing, and I don't know why you did.

This thread has motivated me to listen to my collection of his lectures again, Keeping with the computer theme I'd like to discus a clip I wrote down
"The last time I was here I had said that the difference between a psycadelic and a computer was that one of them was too small to swallow. Well I'm happy to say that a lot of progress had been made in the last 8 months."
what is everyones opinion on his idea that 1 a visible language can be created inside a virtual world 2 a psychdelic experience can be created inside a virtual world

I like No.1 and agree that language can be created inside a virtual world. Language is just an inert symbol untill it is given meaning in the mind and thats based on all past experiences so when we are talking we cant know for sure that the other person completely knows what we are really saying. Thats why the larger your vocabulary the more ideas you can transmit to others. Terence Mckenna is so amazing to listen to because of his beautifuly poetic use of words.
So when language becomes externalized and objectified we can be not 100%, but more clear with what we mean to 'say'.

Sorry, I didn't see that you asked me that.
I guess aint enough to convey that I was kidding 
Sorry, I wouldn't kill anybody. I pissed on an ant the other day and felt bad about it. True story.
