Dreaming Awake” by Terence McKenna: “What culture provides is a bunch of rules, so you dont have to think and a bunch of myths, so you dont have to think again. Culture has all the answers. Want to know where people came from? Well when the sky god got out of his canoe at first waterfall and took a leak then we the true people appeared like ants and we have been living here ever since... Now technology throws a curve. And the curve is that we live so long, that we figure out what a scam this is. We figure out what what were supposed to work for isnt worth having, we figure out that our politicians are buffoons, we figure out that professional scientist are reputation building grab tailing weasels. We discover that all organizations are corrupted by ambition. You get the picture, we figure it out. Well then as intellectuals and any one who figures it out is an intellectual believe me because their slinging the programming to push you the other way. So then intellectuals defined as people who figured it out, discover that you are alienated. Thats what figuring it out means. It means you understand that the BMW, the Harvard degree and what ever, that this is all baloney and manipulated and hyped and that most are clueless people figuring out which fork they should use... By dissolving boundaries they are exposing the cultural operating system for what it is. Which is just a bunch of hacked together rules that evolved over time. They werent sent from god or from Mt. Sinai, its just a bunch of hacked together rules.”
