Terence McKenna - Nobody is smarter than you are

“At the outset I must make this point, the verity of which is unquestionable: personal experience is the criterion of truth here. I challenge the right of anyone to discuss the effects of hashish if he is not speaking for himself and if he or she has not been in a position to evaluate them in light of sufficient repeated use.”

“Can we be certain we are in a condition to understand these sick people when they tell us of their observations? [….] To comprehend the ravings of a madman, it is necessary to have raved oneself, but without having lost the awareness of one’s madness.”
(Moreau, Hashish and Mental Illness)

                                          

   “The male dominant agenda is so fragile that         any competitor is felt as a deadly foe.”
