yeah true it doesn't, you have to be able to reflect upon what you learn in the books. but i feel like being an intellectual type made me have to work out some issues for myself that might seem 'optional' to people and i wish more people would try it out...aint so bad lol

Oh, Dawkins and Hitchens are polar opposites on the humble scale. Humble was the only word in the English language that Hitchens didn't know.

I would have to say Aldous Huxley, I just got done reading Doors of Perception and Heaven & Hell. I read a Brave New World a while ago and the guy is a genius.
He tripped cid a lot too xD
Btw, hello all, I'm new :P

I got some favorite scientists.
Linus Pauling. Carl Sagan Albert E. Schordinger Wernher von Braun
Wallace Carothers -(Invented Nylon but killed himself thinking he didn't invent shit...The following day he committed suicide in a hotel room in Philadelphia by taking cyanide dissolved in lemon juice, knowing that the ingestion of cyanide in an acidic solution would greatly intensify the speed and effect of the poison. No note was found)

Huxley definitely changed my perspective on things. I had always wanted to try psychedelics but after reading the Doors of Perception I gained the courage to do so. So, I rolled for the first time a few months back. I am actually about to try Mescaline and E/Molly. I have done shrooms though and I honestly had a better experience on the cid.

Yeah LSD is a very mystical experience I like it but only once in awhile... Huxley was interesting. The only person to ever take lsd on their death bed haha.
