By far the greatest Terence McKenna lecture I’ve yet experienced is his Culture and Ideology are not your friends, given in Denver, April 1999.

And for the amount of time I spend listening to Terence, that’s saying something.

"This is a struggle between novelty and habit . . . [Your culture] is the greatest barrier to your enlightenment, your education, and your decency . . . Cultures are virtual realities made of language."
