All fantastic however McKenna referenced an eye test on psilocybin by someone who is dead many years(starts with an F, not sure how to spell it). Apparently it was a lie and the dead guy can't complain lol. McKenna mentions in a talk how even when it comes to him like everything else, everything should be questioned. His ape theory is not a theory but rather a hypothesis. It makes a good argument and should be talked about to understand fundamentals of the human experience.
