…far, I'm the most alarmed person. Ralph said, you know, it's just Watkins objection. And then told a story about Rene Tom, who created a whole system of mathematics called catastrophe theory, which then came to a screeching halt when another mathematician…
…will spare you the gory details, but among mathematicians, there is the tradition of what is called the objection. When Rene Tom brought forth catastrophe theory, there was a belgian mathematician who lodged an objection, which has stood to this day. And…
…a horse dancing on. The head of a pin as an. Idiot on a tomato. On a tomato. Horse dancing on a tomato. Ray Tom said that, well, you know, this is a good example of how within certain time spans, everything has already happened. I mean, if you…
…390 milligrams. Thanks for that information. It's really important to get out because there's so much enthusiasm about it. Well, I'm spending Tom these things, and he was floored. And we had a long talk about it, and it's, we have to take responsibility,…
…complexity of what's going on. Well, did you have something you would like to say or ask or comment on how we doing, Tom wise? No, go ahead. Okay. That's all right. It was a great little. I have question then, in the experience of actual…
…and it's facing the sun, and it's. You'll be able to actually track and understand. And then suddenly the messaging, like Tom Reyes Tierra will get something that can't understand, and there's no way for anyone to interpret what communication is about.…
…that probably most people coming to this workshop would have been ultimately better served if they'd stayed home and read mason Dixon, Tom Pynchon's new novel. But then I thought you know saying that to any group I've ever had would just provoke baffled…
…here today. Terrence, you are a supporter of the use of certain psychedelic drugs. Let's talk about those. Which ones? Well, Tom, I'm interested in the drugs that are technically called indole hallucinogens. These are drugs which were made illegal in the…
…It's sort of like walking through life with blinders on. We'll take a break here. We'll continue our conversation coming up. I'm Tom. Like is it? We are talking with Dan Brennan, the vice chairman of the L.A. County Young Republicans, and Terrence McKenna,…
…like less than a complete person if you don't have some kind of a psychedelic experience before you die? Oh, on the contrary, Tom. I've had plenty of experiences that make me feel very complete. I'm 30 years old. I consider that young, and I've done a…
…don't even have to take them to be driven mad by them. This is a measure of their power. Thank you for the call. Here's Tom in Claremont on KFI at 415. Hello. Hi, how you doing? All right, Tom. Well, I have a question for the Republican guy. How…
…measure of their power. Thank you for the call. Here's Tom in Claremont on KFI at 415. Hello. Hi, how you doing? All right, Tom. Well, I have a question for the Republican guy. How much education do you have in drug research? In fact, I haven't taken…

…going to go see people You're not going to go out to a club to see somebody. To see someone perform as, you know, Tom Jones or Julio Iglesias. You'd rather see some guy in fishnets. Or Diana Ross. What? AJ's making funny faces at me. That is not…
…to elicit entry into these places it requires, as it says in hamlet you must screw your courage to the sticking place. Tom, you mentioned earlier about mankind evolving towards a teleological goal. Would you comment on that? What is the goal? Well I don't…
…pull your head out of your little Republican handbook, and read real history. Check things out. It's in the library. It's an education. Tom, I've got to move on here. I thank you for the call. We'll continue. I haven't used drugs in about four years.…
