I have been listening to Terence McKenna mp3s at work again lately. I have a job where i can just listen to shit all day if I want to.

I am not liking him so much anymore. My main beef with him these days is how he keeps describing his own trips as though they are "the" trips. He says what he experiences on each drug and then says well that is what people in general experience and that just isn't so. He says mushrooms are about alien intelligence and show visions of huge machines orbiting planets in outer space. No Terence. That is what you see because you are a fan of science fiction. I mean sometimes that is what I see on Mushrooms, but usually I see all sorts of different things, and the trip is always different. I hate that. I hate that he projects his own experiences.

In another recording today he had the nerve to criticize another famous author's descriptions of the psychedelic dimension as being exactly the same only with cars that are 9' wide. Screw you Terence. If that is what that guy experiences that is what he experiences. Terence McKenna was totally full of himself as much as he liked to posture humility.
