My favorite McKenna quote: “Every time a culture gets itself into trouble, it casts itself back into the past, looking for the last sane moment it ever knew. And the last sane moment we ever knew was on the planes of Africa, fifteen thousand years ago, rocked in the cradle of the great horned mushroom goddess — before history, before standing armies, before slavery and property, before warfare and phonetic alphabets and monotheism — before before before. And this is where the future is taking us.”
I love that whole rap, but I have to say I think things took a turn he didn’t anticipate.
