interesting read. i'm not all that far into it yet, but he comes off as more down to earth than many other 2K12 authors i have seen.

pinchbeck? down to earth? really?
that guy rubs me entirely the wrong way. to me he comes across as an opportunist, and a male chovinist, but that's just from my (limited) reading of him
i can see definitely see him as an opportunist, but hey everyone's got to eat.
i guess in a way any person who talks about the end of time is never really "down to earth." 
so i'll take that back, let's just say: i don't think he goes "over the edge."

yeah he used a lot of ketamine during his experiments in the tank, which is really one of his more significant studies.
if you're looking for a good read i would recommend Simulations of God. it's a fabulous work by him that describes the nature of various human belief systems.

another favorite of mine is Teilhard De Chardin's The Phenomenon of Man.
he's the guy who first coined the Omega Point and took Vernadsky's theory of the noosphere and ran with it. the book leaves me thinking after every page.
