Dive into the archives of psychedelic thought. Lorenzo Hagerty hosts essential conversations on entheogens, science, and the counterculture.
…here we're talking almost exclusively about computational simulation although some of them were robotic simulations as well so for example Stephen Levy's book artificial life perfectly captures that. The idea is that I guess you have as I these simulators…
…but especially hallucinogens which have this intellectual content. Gee that's the best explanation of a case for organic psychedelics that I've heard. Stephen said a long time ago, when we were on the caravan 12 years ago I guess, that we should stop using…
…which might amplify these ideas about conscious evolution. The first ideas that I want to talk about are put forward in a book by Stephen Mython, m I t h e n called the prehistory of the mind. He's a British Archaeologist but in this book he's brought…
…can see this is dancing around an intellectual black hole or something. Here we have the question is posed, as I gather of Stephen Mython, that in the evolution of consciousness or culture I'm not sure which there was a bifurcation 50 000 years ago which…
…in this audience but it's one that has to be counted, do you ask for, are there any other? What did he suggest actually, Stephen Mython? He doesn't give a very clear explanation as to why this might have happened. Well he's a youngish man I suppose who…
…this as a chicken and egg kind of thing okay is like the physiological change. There was a physiological change, was there not? Stephen Mython mentioned that. Well you can't from skulls all you've got is skulls oh you can no you can. That's the whole…
…so sorry about that. And so that I don't feel guilty about forgetting to say this, I sure want to send my thanks to Stephen B and Michael M both of whom made donations this week, and Michael You'll probably remember better as a dime short, who's also…
…from it especially something like quantum electrodynamics. You have a really good one. You know mathematical physicists such as Stephen Hawking's going on record in several of his books saying that theoretical physics is done, everything we can figure…
…We had stiff competition from Bob Harris, he wrote a book called Growing Magic mushrooms or something. Wrote a book. Gary Mentzer, Stephen Pollock. Spore companies sprang up. It's very hard to imagine how many people are doing this. For the delight of my…
…of the body. You know, this is a theme you get as early as Whitman. I sing the body electric. You get it in Stephen Vincent Binet in his poem John Brown's body, where he says, I see the human body, cold, electric rage. And he pictures it as…
…our fellow saloners who sent in donations during these past two weeks and really surprised me. And those wonderful people are Francois L. Stephen P. Adrian D. Nexus 112, Shane G. Anthony D. And aham K, with whom I seem to share a love for Led Zeppelin.…
…whatever this new reality is. And, you know, it terrifies some people. It liberates others. It's the same reality. You know, Stephen Vincent Binethe says something about at the end of John Brown's body. He says, when the prophets of strange religions bawl…
…political agendas, all of these things, the economies of nature are going to set the guiding images. It's very interesting. I read Stephen Jay Gould's book Biophilia, in which he describes his work with ants in Suriname and how there are ants which grow…
…same thing was happening. And I was going, my God, this is I'm feeling this, this crucifixion, you know, thing. And the St. Stephen and my name is Dinda Martinoff. And all this martyrdom shit. I'm subjecting, you know, on and on. I mean, you could I…
…a philosophical argument compared to the certainty of your own finality. And I've been thinking about. The question is out of Stephen Hawking's book about parallel worlds and black holes and stuff. How can these physical oddities or anomalies be related to…
…do, except they spin it around. And that's why I can't remember who wrote it. But the book called the first three minutes. Stephen Weinberg's book, the first three minutes. A book about the first three minutes in the life of the universe. Where he leads…
…somehow Ken was able to capture one of Terrance's most spectacular rave performances. Musically, he was backed by Rose X and Stephen Kent and the space time continuum. In the dvd, there are two long musical interludes that are accompanied with some…
…his time is now. All right, tonight for your edification and amusement, three raves, two interregnums. Visions by rosette Didgeridoo, Stephen Kent and sound. Bye, spacetime. Words and ideas by Terrence McKenna. Rap one. The archaic revival history is ending…
…cyberdelic space. This is Lorenzo, and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon. And to begin, I'd like to thank fellow saloners Stephen P. Extragraphic Taylor V. Nick F. Timothy T. And Ryan Q. Who are the very first of our donors here in the…
…1960s LSD literature that has not been edited or amended since. If you want to look at this, take a look at Stephen Gaskin's book, amazing Dope Tales. The book was published in 1969. So it's completely uncontaminated by the shifts in consciousness of the.…
…graph. So it could be something like that, or it could be something somewhat of a metaphysical type. I mean, here's the Stephen King version of what it could be. Imagine if on the day of concrescence, the sun exploded. Well, now, that would certainly…
…who made donations during the past four weeks to help with the expenses of these podcasts. And these wonderful people are John P. Stephen Bdez, David G, Doctor Laura, Adam L. And a friend in the Haight Ashberry. I thank you one and all, including our…
…into such detail about black holes, I feel I should probably point out to you that recently, with the publication of Stephen Hawking's last paper, the view that the boundaries around black holes present singularities may soon fade away. So you may want…
…there right now. Also, I want to mention that we received donations during the past ten days from Brian Michael, Sean, Jeffrey, Stephen Thomas, and once again, from our friends at Stabila. You have all put us well on our way toward covering this month's…
…or is there some kernel of truth to be explored there? Well, he didn't. Joyce put these words into the mouth of Stephen Dedalus, who said, history is the nightmare from which I am trying to awaken, showing that Joyce could write because he didn't…
…is without precedent. It's so enormous that to call it good or bad is pointless. All you can, you know. What is it that Stephen Vincent Binet says at the end of John Brown's body? He says, some will worship and some adore, some will flee in horror. It…
