You can't spell culture without "cult"
The problem with big time weirdos saying something really insightful is that… well, a big time weirdo said it and nobody’s really going to take it seriously. Granted, “crazy person” is a subjective point of view, and I’m sure all the machine elves Terence hung out with when he was spaced out on DMT would think you were a real Looney Toon too.
Nonetheless… while his argument against mass culture comes across as intelligent and profound, you’d have a hard time selling his theory of mushrooms as space aliens to anybody, even people who were tripping on mushrooms themselves. And if you did, god, my deepest sympathies go out to them.
