    I used to hang out in those terence mckenna spaces. Tripping balls doesn’t make you a good person, you make yourself a better person by putting in the effort. Unfortunately not everyone comes back equipped with the realization that they need to make life better for yourself and everyone else. In fact it could even have the effect of deeper entrenchment in whatever shit you happen to find yourself in.

      I still love Terrance McKenna. I know he’s a bit of a weirdo, but he seemed like a pretty good leftist and he did preach doing the work and integrating the experience into your life.

      Just like anything, too many people have the wrong takeaway, or are manipulative creeps
