Dudes to listen to for hours...
    #19296248 - 12/19/13 02:05 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

So I was trying to think of ways to search this up... I can't think of a reliable way to actually get a list! Except to ask. I'm wondering if either there's a thread already, which I can't seem to locate, or if a bunch of clever shroomery folks can help compile sort of a list.

The kind of "dudes to listen to for hours" (or dudettes considering not all smart people are dudes) I've heard so far could range from the scientific to the psychedelic to the philosophical and everything between...

Doesn't have to be scientific or credible or backed by evidence. I want this to be a smorgasbord of whatever people think is smart or enlightening or mind blowing or otherwise informative. Just for the sake of exposure, not for selectiveness. If you find something you disbelieve, great, you've just expanded your mind. You are now better equipped to disbelieve. :wink:

A few examples I've listened to before:
-----------------
Carl Sagan (for all the science and astrology and stuff)

Terence McKenna (for his strange thoughts on mind, culture, language, psychedelics, drugs, etc)

Neil deGrasse Tyson (another one of those science types, currently watching a Joe Rogan podcast with him in it)

George Carlin (may be a comedian but still, many hours of smart shit to hear from him)

Bill Hicks (while I'm doing comedians and psychedelic guys, gotta throw him into the picture...)

Joe Rogan (okay maybe a bit of a goof, but he's interviewed a lot of the kinds of people I'd like to listen to)

Noam Chomsky (when I was more into the political side of things)

Peter Joseph (when I got back into the political side of things)

Graham Hancock (him and his lost civilizations and ayahuasca and stuff)
-----------------
I can't think of any more off the top of my head.

I put this in "The Pub" because basically some of these guys could fall into a few of the different boards...

Can we maybe start up sort of a list of smart people to listen to lectures from? Maybe I'm greedy and just want to listen to more than I've heard just yet... But I'm sure lots of people could find some enjoyment and benefit from suddenly having many many hours of interesting stuff to listen to.

I say listen to only because I've jumped off the book bandwagon to some extent and landed straight into the audio lecture bandwagon since getting into guys like Terence McKenna. It's so much easier just to sit back and listen while you do something else.

And here I convince myself to hit send on this crazy idea...

Continuing the list with contributions since I started: (with some brief descriptions, hopefully not too inadequate, from brief googlings)
-------------------------
Dan Dennett (seems to be another of the science types like Sagan)

Richard Dawkins (I forgot to mention him! Another science guy)

Robert Anton Wilson (quantum physics and a bunch of other stuff)

Alan Watts (eastern philosophy)

Ram Dass (awareness, consciousness, meditation etc)

Timothy Leary (psychedelics of course)

Dennis McKenna (psychedelics, ethnopharmacology)

Aldous Huxley (famous for doors of perception and brave new world)

Michio Kaku (physics and some other things)

I don't listen to lectures very often, and when I do I'm almost never paying much attention. That said I find myself putting on some Dan Dennett when I feel like hearing someone talk.

In the past year I have really come to love lectures regarding anthropology, psychology and Psychedelic theory. That being said, I hate every other form of lectures so I'm not just a person who likes lectures.

I spent around 15 hours listening to Terrance McKenna, Timothy Leary, Dennis McKenna and I am almost done with Aldous Huxley's Doors of Perception and loved his trip report and writings.

Here are some of the lectures that I have personally listened to several times and I think are very important, thought provoking and just down right cool. These Lectures and audiobooks are IMO a great set of lectures for someone who is very interested in psychedelics and want to explore it on an Academic level.

Archaic Revival : Terrance McKenna



Navigating the Myco Matrix: Terrance McKenna



Tree of knowledge : Terrance McKenna ( Amazing lecture but it's 10 hours long so I would listen to it a few hours at a time)



The Psychedelic Experience : Timothy Leary



Doors of Perception Full audiobook : Aldous Huxley

Interesting to know it'll only take me less than two and a half hours to read the Doors of Perception. I've had that book sitting around for months and never got around to it. Might finally get to reading it one afternoon.
