Terence was such a well-articulated, intelligent man. It may well be a long long time before we see another person like him

[@CuttySobz]

Possibly and possibly a CIA asset lol.

[@kingboo843]

@Dream Delirium I noticed this myself, they claim Liberals are more educated.. but we see them doing the most dumbest things just as often as anybody else. What measurement of education? I guess we should become aware that education is just a word that fuses the concept of intelligence with the concept of indoctrination. Education thus is really just being intelligent at what you were taught. But it does not mean you are more intelligent than others overall just because you went to college. Also the ability to think in an aware state of mind is not equal to being educated for a job.

[@Jsmithyy]

For a guy that tripped like Ram Das Terrence proves articulate and well thought arguement goes hand in hand. A peacefull voice also unlike Jordan Peterson whom I may add i admire yet he needs to chill and get over the past.

[@npplscorpion]

High IQ + smoking a lot of marijuana over long period of time=entrancing speech. Just look at Carl Sagan ;P

[@napukapu]

Terence was something much much more special than just a stoner. Nothing worse than someone holding the joint while ear beating you in an half-assed attempt to hit a philosophical homerun after having two tokes.

[@npplscorpion]

+napukapu Well sure he was more than just a stoner but he was a a stoner nonetheless. To my mind stoner means a person who frequently ingests, vapes, and/or smokes marijuana and/or other cannabis derived substances. Not implying a negative value judgement of the aforementioned thing.

[@napukapu]

Nipplescorpion A stoner is someone who HAS TO TELL YOU how much he smokes and loves weed. Whenever somebody announces smoking pot as if that's an accomplishment, they will turn out to be a dry mouthed douche.

[@lars526]

It is interesting that figures like McKenna and Timothy Leary, with strong Irish heritage, are so so knowledgeable of psychedelics, particularly mushrooms. Magic mushrooms have always thrived in certain parts of that country, and have a large role in Irish folklore and mythology, as with well-known artists, poets, musicians, and other intellectuals. McKenna's fascination with the Dublin author James Joyce is also a mysterious connection.

[@goodsirknight]

Good point lad. throw in Robert Anton Wilson while you're at it
