I liked Sasha. He kept the magic in hallucinogens. He called himself a tool maker. Here, have this, tell me what you feel about it. No silly claims, no giving the drugs only to the lab rats.

Sure you can pick the human brain apart and try and figure out what the drugs are doing in there but it's the experience of consciousness which is the important thing. Drugs were made to be taken first and foremost. Research is a secondary thing.

that was pre McKenna wasn't it? The serpent and the cross? I can't recall exactly but I recall having read it in book, something about gaining conciousness or a division of rich and left brain. Maybe the gaining of an inherent religiosity.

I don't buy ant of it though.

Rogan went on and on with a paleontologist about how mankind could reach an evolved state of conciousness if we all took hallucinogens. The guy countered. He said it wasn't necessarily a good thing. He talked about the Aztecs taking mushrooms and communing with a god that told them it was a good thing to cut the beating hearts out of thousands of innocents. If Hitler had used hallucinogens he might not have acted much differently than those Aztecs

It was pre McKenna need to find a reference but there are tons of similar theories but none really went quite as far as his stoned ape fun...its a nice and fun thought but dont buy into it myself and from what I've seen its pretty much a joke when it comes to the evolutionary and cognitive sciences...and joe rogan still blows

What the hell is wrong with contemplating whether the universe is in an atom in another universe and so on... and why is it mystical bullshit.. Joe Rogan is kind of awesome. Ya he says some off shit that's not 100%, it's comedy, entertainment. There's little danger in his documentaries.

The guy is an entertainer I agree. This is why he should stay out of the realm of knock off pharmaceuticals.

It's an easy out to say he's a comedian because 99% of the shit he preaches extremely aggressively on his show is wrong. Him being a comedian, and not a very good one in recent years, does not give him some sort of immunity from being called out on his bullshit. Is he a court jester? are we never supposed to take him seriously? Or is it the more logical way to look at it and when he's being serious and wrong a conversation should be had about how he is wrong. Pushing drugs to a fucking cult like audience, that he knows for a fact is like a cult he's stated it several times, is wrong and immoral at the very least.

I've followed Joe's career for a very long time the podcast has gone completely to his head.

Seriously on the comedy front, I watched his 4/20 show a couple years back... my goodness.

Lol I meant to say a little danger, meaning there is some at least. He could stand to be a bit more careful with what he says. whoops! He did a comedy special out of CO that wasn't all that bad.

Lets see, Aztecs ate a few people because they didn't have sufficient protein sources. Our wonderful society has countless millions of dead bodies in it's wake.

Uh, we kill countless millions and you're gonna dis the Aztecs for eating a few hundred thousand people because they were hungry? The Aztecs look like fucking saints compared to the 20th century. They wouldn't have even registered on the Holocost meter.

Hitler and company were taking meth. Mushrooms couldn't have possibly made world war two any worse. Hitler taking mushrooms probably would have prevented world war two. How many of you eat mushrooms and then start thinking mushrooooooooms, must kill jews.

Anyway, when the first Australopithecus stated whackign rocks together it was because he at some mushrooms and was tripping balls. Mushrooooooooms, must whack rocks together, look shiney sparkey sparkey. I think I'll start a forest fire!! Gonna run run run run, run run from the fire.
