Terrence McKenna:
...how to slice into this pie. I try to never do it the same way because I don't want to get bored but that lays a sort of obligation on me that I'm not always ready to meet...
I feel like i should say this--it's more for my ease that yours--that i reached the conclusions i now espouse through skepticism, reason, rationalism and tough argument so it may sound ditzy, flaky and soft-headed uhh, but that's just because you're hearing it wrong [
laughter].
