The idea of psychedelic societies is something new. and it doesn't necessarily mean that everyone takes the drug. it merely means that the complexity and the mysteriousness of mind are centered in the consciousness of the civilization as the mystery which it comes from and which it must relate to in order to be relevant.

We see that there are two different kinds of...societies: (a) parasitic societies and (b) producing societies. the former are those which live from hunting, fishing, or merely gleaning. by their economic activities they do not increase, but rather decrease, the amount of wealth in the world. the second kind of societies, producing societies, live by agricultural and pastoral activities. by these activities they seek to increase the amount of wealth in the world.

I'll get rid of the drug problem. the first drug dealer will be publicly executed in front of everybody and all of the sudden the rest of the drug dealers are going to go "uh oh!" watch how fast the drug problem disappears. if you use drugs, you're addicted and you steal something, you'll get sent off to the outback and to work camps and all of the sudden no drug addicts. see how simple that is? so simple.

What "make america great" means is it doesn't mean race, and it doesn't mean gender, and it doesn't mean sexual orientation, and it doesn't mean anything identity politics related that seems to appeal to the democrat party. it's about a culture. it's about an identity. it's about an idea - the american idea, the american ideal.

The psychedelic experience is the beginning of the spiritual path. that's why it's not important that yogas' claim that they can deliver you the psychedelic experience, because it begins with the psychedelic experience, and then you go from there.

In order to live, man must act; in order to act, he must make choices; in order to make choices, he must define a code of values; in order to define a code of values, he must know what he is and where he is – i.e. he must know his own nature (including his means of knowledge) and the nature of the universe in which he acts – i.e. he needs metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, which means: philosophy. he cannot escape from this need; his only alternative is whether the philosophy guiding him is to be chosen by his mind or by chance.

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.

I am against portraying china as the demon of the global community. china has grasped more quickly than other countries what globalization means and what it demands. the country has learned how to use other people's innovations for itself. india, incidentally, is not far behind china in this respect. both are not nations in the european sense, but rather cultural communities with enormous markets. the challenge of the future is to work out how to deal with that.

I think that hip-hop is more of an individual effort. that means you're an artist from the streets, they expect you to rap about the streets, because that's what happens there.

If you have a large bloc of americans who believe you're trying to keep their ... fellow hispanics down and deprive them of an opportunity, obviously that's going to have an effect...the republican party has failed to understand to a significant degree the importance of this issue to our hispanic voters. i think the trend will continue of lack of support from hispanic voters and also as you look at the demographics of states like mine, that means we will go from republican to democrat over time.
