More From Terence McKenna

I'm a champion for western civilization and, yes, our english language is a big part of it. it's a carrier of freedom. wherever the english language has gone globally, freedom went with it. science technology has always lifted up the standard of living on average of everybody on the planet. i want more of that, not less. there are civilizations that produce very little, if any. this western civilization is a superior civilization, and we want to share it with everybody.
Technology Champion Language
Give me the gun." ranger said. i extracted the gun from my pants and handed it over. ranger held the gun in the pulm of his hand and smiled. "it's warm," he said. he put the gun in the glove compartment and plugged the key into the ignition. am i fired?" no. any women who can heat up a gun like that is worth keeping around.

The argument now that the spread of pop culture and consumer goods around the world represents the triumph of western civilization trivializes western culture. the essence of western civilization is the magna carta, not the magna mac. the fact that non-westerners may bite into the latter has no implications for their accepting the former.
Essence Civilization Culture
If we have an element of americans here that reject western civilization, and that's a big element, that reject western civilization, then what have we? this is an effort on the left i think to break down the american civilization and the american culture and turn it into something entirely different.
Thinking Effort Different
So-called western civilization, as practised in half of europe, some of asia and a few parts of north america, is better than anything else available. western civilization not only provides a bit of life, a pinch of liberty and the occasional pursuance of happiness, it's also the only thing that's ever tried to. our civilization is the first in history to show even the slightest concern for average, undistinguished, none-too-commendable people like us.
Average Europe Civilization
Western civilization has been in a state of decline since the edwardian age, say 1910. that was the height of greco-roman european civilization. then there was the first world war. that was the beginning of the end. that civilization has been in a decline ever since. but from the american triumphalist point of view our wonderful electronic revolution is really the forefront of an ongoing wonderful civilization.

Modernism really started with people getting infatuated with the idea of "it's the twentieth century, is this suitable for the twentieth century." this happened before the first world war and it wasn't just the soldiers. you can see it happening if you read the bloomsbury biographies. it was a reaction to a great extent against victorianism. there was so much that was repressive and stuffy. victorian buildings were associated with it, and they were regarded as very ugly. even when they weren't ugly, people made them ugly. they were painted hideously.
War Ideas People
The rationale which accompanies that imposition of male authority euphemistically referred to as 'the battle of the sexes' bears a certain resemblance to the formulas of nations at war, where any heinousness is justified on the grounds that the enemy is either an inferior [part of the] species or really not human at all.
