The largest collection of talks by Terence McKenna — visionary ethnobotanist and advocate for the mindful use of natural psychedelics.
…the University of California was establishing an experimental campus where all kinds of advanced experimental educational ideas would be tried out, Ralph was there either in the first year of its operation or very shortly after he I hope it's all right to…
…was there either in the first year of its operation or very shortly after he I hope it's all right to tell this Ralph because it impressed me before he. Eventually he had tenure but he was so loathed by the administration for his political activism.…
…make life hell and he stuck with it until now. I think even the most hardcore of the administration recognized that in Ralph they have a real gem, one of the major thinkers and contributors to what may seem like an arcane field research mathematics.…
…to what may seem like an arcane field research mathematics. But in fact mathematics rules the world from far, far behind the throne. Ralph estimated to me at one time that there are only about 2 500 people in the world making a living as research…
…abstruse, the more incomprehensible, the more removed from the human world, the more kudos your colleagues will shower upon you. Ralph has made major contributions in the area of model building for natural phenomena, everything from population theory to models…
…of mechanics and I dare say anybody who's written a book titled the foundations of anything gets a lot of respect from me. Ralph has been an extraordinary friend over the years. We see each other as often as our busy lives permit and I go to…
…book opens or almost opens, and the reason I wanted to talk about it today is because I haven't yet discussed this with Ralph and Terence and the present state of play which I'm going to summarise now, shows that there have been investigations of homing…
…state of the utterly unknown, umm I don't know how they do it either. So I was hoping that by talking about it with Ralph and Terence it might become clearer or possibly even more obscure. At any rate umm it's something that I really want to discuss…
…might it imply what might it tell us? And where would we go from there? And that's the question I wanted to raise with Ralph and Terence. Well, thanks for the question. Maybe I could ask you for just a couple of little details first, when they race…
…back to newton. Newton said time is pure duration. He visualized time as an absolutely featureless surface. We'll now notice. Ralph Aristotle's effort to describe nature with perfect mathematical solids has been abandoned long ago because nowhere do we meet…
…attracted within this field back towards the home which functions as the attractor. This is another. This is where me and Ralph have this different view of attractors. In dynamics things are drawn towards attractors and if the loft is an attractor within…
…previously could barely even be conceived but that now at a rate of millions approaching billions of iterations per second. Ralph works on the mmpp machine, the multiple parallel processing machine at Goddard Space flight center. It does 800 megaflops per…
…thereafter that I was horrified that he had heard me make this reference to him. Well so I was just, you know and Ralph, who was sitting across the table and saw this whole thing go on, leaned across the table and said: you see, the mushroom…
…I'll explain that later. Your fellow trialogers one day drew a line in the sand as the stories started to drag anchor Ralph to Terrence. That is a paranoid fantasy. Overtoning made you into a performer and you gloriously peaked in late 98. But by…
…they're all famous but the trial log of 1998 at uc Santa Cruz and in the movie yesterday you could see the picture of Ralph and Rupert and Terence on stage that's from that trial log from uc Santa Cruz. And this is where and I've spoken with Ralph…
…Ralph and Rupert and Terence on stage that's from that trial log from uc Santa Cruz. And this is where and I've spoken with Ralph about this event this is where both Rupert and Ralph said enough, we're drawing the line in the sand. This stuff has just…
…log from uc Santa Cruz. And this is where and I've spoken with Ralph about this event this is where both Rupert and Ralph said enough, we're drawing the line in the sand. This stuff has just become elaborated and elaborate and elaborate over the last 10…
…to be seen as a large scale manifestation of the same principle. I mean I myself think that's quite a likely possibility but Ralph knows nick fashion has talked about these things more. So what do you think about that, Ralph? Well what I think is that…
…quite a likely possibility but Ralph knows nick fashion has talked about these things more. So what do you think about that, Ralph? Well what I think is that quantum mechanics applies to a different realm and it provides us with metaphors and Bell's…
