More From Terence McKenna

I'm even stunned at some of the majors you can get in college these days. like you can major in the mating habits of the australian rabbit bat, major in leisure studies... okay, get a journalism major. okay, education major, journalism major. right. philosophy major, right. archeology major. i don't know, whatever it is. major in ballroom dance, of course. it doesn't replace work. how about a major in film studies? how about a major in black studies? how about a major in women studies? how about a major in home ec? oops, sorry! no such thing.

Around the world there are certain marital systems, certain physical systems, political systems, social systems, and all those things are kind of turned on their head but represented in various ways within "the lobster."

Any good teacher should become acquainted with relevant technologies. but the technologies should not dictate an education goal. rather, the teacher (or parent or student or policy maker) should ask: can technology help to achieve this goal, and which technologies are most likely to be helpful?
Teacher Technology Goal
The recent period has been marked by a transformation to an economy that is more productive as competitive forces become increasingly intense and new technologies raise the efficiency of our businesses...while these tendencies were no doubt in train in the "old," pre-1990s economy, they accelerated over the past decade as a number of technologies with their roots in the cumulative innovations of the past half-century began to yield dramatic economic returns.
Past Technology Roots
When one speaks of increasing power, machinery, and industry there comes up a picture of a cold, metallic sort of world in which great factories will drive away the trees, the flowers, the birds, and the green fields. and that then we shall have a world composed of metal machines and human machines. with all of that i do not agree. i think that unless we know more about the machines and their use, unless we better understand the mechanical portion of life, we cannot have the time to enjoy the trees, and the birds, and the flowers, and the green fields.
Flower Thinking Green Fields
You cannot love a car the way you love a horse. the horse brings out human feelings the way machines cannot do. things like machines may develop or neglect certain things in people ... machines make our life impersonal and stultify certain elements in us and create an impersonal environment.

The active cavalry of scythia is always followed, in their most distant and rapid incursions, by an adequate number of spare horses, who may be occasionally used, either to redouble the speed, or to satisfy the hunger, of the barbarians. many are the resources of courage and poverty.
Horse Numbers History
Once i got over the fact that my latin teacher was a horse, we had a nice tour, though i was careful not to walk behind him. i'd done pooper-scooper patrol in the macy's thanksgiving day parade a few times, and, i'm sorry, i did not trust chiron's back the the way i trusted his front.
Teacher Horse Sorry
I'll miss it until the day i die, and i'm convinced to this day that i can get on a horse and jump a course of fences satisfactorily. it doesn't leave you.

The corncob was the central object of my life. my father was a horse handler, first trotting and pacing horses, then coach horses, then work horses, finally saddle horses. i grew up around, on, and under horses, fed them, shoveled their manure, emptied the mangers of corncobs.
