More From Terence McKenna

Just because you’ve only been alive for fifteen years doesn’t mean you’re less anything except old. that’s all it means. it doesn’t mean you’re less experienced. it doesn’t mean you’re less intelligent. it doesn’t mean you’re less sensitive. it doesn’t mean you take things less seriously. it’s like, these are younger human beings, meaning don’t, because they’re only ten, start thinking that they don’t know what you’re talking about -because they do. don’t leave people out in the cold, and don’t talk down to people -don’t. it never works out.
Mean Thinking Intelligent
The scientific theorist is not to be envied. for nature, or more precisely experiment, is an exorable and not very friendly judge of his work. it never says "yes" to a theory. in the most favorable cases it says "maybe," and in the great majority of cases simply "no." if an experiment agrees with a theory it means for the latter "maybe," and if it does not agree it means "no." probably every theory will some day experience its "no" - most theories, soon after conception.
Memorable Mean Judging
Facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. facts are the world's data. theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. facts do not go away while scientists debate rival theories for explaining them. einstein's theory of gravitation replaced newton's, but apples did not suspend themselves in mid-air pending the outcome.

No theory ever benefited by the application of data, amy. data kills theories. a theory has no better time than when it's lying there naked, pure, unsullied by facts. let's just keep it that way for a while." "so you don't really have a theory?" "clueless." "you lying bag of fish heads." "i can fire you, you know. even if clay was the one that hired you, i'm not totally superfluous to this operation yet. i'm kind of in charge. i can fire you. then how will you live?" "i'm not getting paid." "see, right there. perfectly good concept ruined by the application of fact.

It's the pool where we all go down to drink, to swim, to catch a little fish from the edge of the shore; it's also the pool where some hardy souls go out in their flimsy wooden boats after the big ones. it is the pool of life, the cup of imagination, and she has an idea that different people see different versions of it, but with two things ever in common: it's always about a mile deep in the fairy forest, and it's always sad. because imagination isn't the only thing this place is about.
Ideas Two People
I'm hostile to men, i'm hostile to women, i'm hostile to cats, to poor cockroaches, i'm afraid of horses.

Songs can be trojan horses, taking charged ideas and sneaking past the ego's defenses and into the open mind.
Song Horse Past
My view is that our minds are incredibly powerful animals that are, during life, kept somewhat in check by the load of our bodies. once that load is gone (or so some ancient texts teach us) the mind is like a horse off the tether. so the habits we get into here might have something to do with what happens to us afterwards. an exciting but harrowing idea, given the everyday state of my mind. but also hopeful, since that's something a person can work with.
