I don't think McKenna is opposed to the idea of culture itself, but I think he advocates a better recognition by individual humans that culture is an imperfect human construction rather than the wisdom from on-high that many paralytically accultured individuals see it as. IE, when your pants are getting mangy and dirty, you take them off and put on new pants, rather than try to justify wearing mangy old pants (as many do). When your religion is complicit in mass murder, you leave it and come up with a new one. Et cetera.



He must have done a good job getting that across, because that's exactly where I landed.

I haven't read nearly enough of his ramblings to be talking about what he may or may not mean but after thinking on what I have read, my take away was exactly what you said. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Never judge a man until you walk a mile in his shoes. But, by that time you're a mile away and you got his shoes, so fuck em.

Can't argue with that either.
