The web has been infected.
--------------------
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Well .. I find it difficult to comment on McKenna's content at all.
His perspective on the world was maybe 98%+ truth and 1-2% a lack of conception. He understood all the fundamental processes in society and culture which run in the background and influence it, no matter if good or bad. The only thing he never understood though, is the biggest of all pictures. The superstructure where his Machine Elves came from.
There is just not much to say about him, besides that what he says is just very true.
He didn't develop (or wasn't born with) the highly accurate mindset, that you would need in bare-metal and mathematically abstract computer programming and hence can further develop by practicing those skills. A mindset which requires your thought structures to transform to almost pure binary logic, which you apply to real-world physical and metaphysical processes. Something which seems so alienating to human nature that it is rather a savant ability, mostly present in people bordering autism, hence people who naturally have very narrow, limited but therefore intense perspectives on the world. And cannot really switch their minds away from that, to understand larger scales.
Anyway, I think it is hard for ordinary people to understand him well at all. You would have to listen to 20 hours or more of his talks, to really get the idea, that your personal bias is twisting his words at some ends in very wrong directions. If you are the ordinary but open-minded person that is. But it is worth the effort to those people. Personally speaking, it seems kind of pointless to me to listen to him. All he does to me is to restate the obvious, maybe with a touch of better education about history and ancient cultures. But lesser educated in terms of modern scientific advancements, especially concerning the implications of molecular biology and neuroscience.

Lol you sound like someone who thinks psychedelics can cause enlightenment. He was a good speaker who sometimes had good advice or perpesctive, even his brother disagreed with him on a lot of things. He had the gift of gab, nothing more.
Welcome to the shroomery either way
