As fucking out there McKenna is and as wacko some of his ideas are, he's such an absurdly eloquent speaker.

never tried schizophrenia either, but i think i can safely say the things in those peoples minds isn't some form of enlightenment.

fact of the matter is you are supposed to take the experience as a novelty and those who don't are about as bad off as the mentally ill.


people thought the world was flat

im not saying schizophrenics are enlightened, because i dont know

im just pointing out the fact that the information we have, which is what you are basing your opinions on, is very limited

i suffer from mental illness and alot of people have claimed alot of things about me with absolute certainty

the fact of the matter is they have no idea what they are talking about because they cant comprehend much outside of their realm of experience

saying that we are "supposed" to do something and saying that people who are mentally ill are worse off than others is a pretty ignorant statement

no offense or anything

Tedx already has a low threshold for acceptance, to get banned from it is hilarious.

Your all so close minded lol


So we know that we naturally create and release dmt while we rem sleep and its dmt that gives us these incredible life like dream states that philosophers said were so real could not trust their senses (descartes for sure but others as well)




So maybe we are dreaming right now and dmt and sleep are the only things that can wake us from this dream world,

And when we sleep (yes while you read this) we are dreaming from another world that our current(dream selves) cannot access.

Im not saying that this is how it is, or that dmt is even relevant, but shit let the men explore and stop shitting on ideas before we even run with them.


People need to take into account how much we dont know before we start assuming what cannot be true.


Our "scientific" understanding of the world is merely a functional working definition of the world, there will be many times that holes are punched in the system that we have created to explain the universe.


Again i dont even believe this but descartes couldn't prove anything beyond his own thoughts (god proof was weak). Who are we a bunch of ex diablo 2 players to say no its not worthy they are wrong


Ted should have allowed the talks assuming they were > do dmt its fun, drugs are good etc
