Terence McKenna - Space-Time Reality is Complexifying at an Exponential Rate of Speed

[greymagick]

Here’s a couple of things I think you guys will find really interesting. 
Search for the Forum Borealis podcast, look for the episode titled Anthony Peake-The End of Time parts 1&2. 
It’s a very deep dive into all things related to time and touches on the topic of the OP. Forum Borealis is a fantastic podcast with most of the topics covering the subjects we have here. 

Google kicks up lots of miscellaneous podcast feeds that usually have one of the series of these interviews.  But the site I have found best and most useful is the Spotify archive of Forum Borealis:  https://open.spotify.com/show/6DnbT04KttVy15gvwFoVAy

ETA: It looks like you cannot scroll through the episodes manually, and it also appears as though the shows are incomplete from the original interviews posted on the official Forum Borealis website (which strongly encourages one to subscribe to unlock features etc.): https://www.forumborealis.net/podcast

Ahh right, some podcasts I listen too have been de-monetised and de-platformed by YouTube and others, they don’t like certain subjects so they censor them just like China would. 

Anyway what you need is a podcast player. I use Podbean, there are others available but Podbean is free and doesn’t try to get you to subscribe with nag screens and what not. 
You can get these from the App Store for whatever system you’re using. Once you have installed a podcast player, you then search within the app for Forum Borealis say and it will find it and all the episodes. You can listen to an episode before subscribing to the particular podcast if you’re not sure about it. But if you subscribe you can then download an episode or episodes and listen offline as and when you want. 

Hopefully that will get you up and running with them. Don’t be put off by Forum Borealis website asking you to take a paid subscription. That’s entirely voluntary and the only benefit is you get new episodes before they are released to everyone, also it helps the podcast creators aka the value for value model. But like it says at the beginning of every episode, the shows are free and will remain so.

Terence McKenna always assumed that order was preferred by natural evolution, rather than disorder - so he didn't really believe in entropy, per se.  But I am starting to see many signs of disorder, in the historical context (just watch the news), and it's starting to look like this exponential rush towards novelty/complexity/order, is taking a more drastic turn towards entroy/disorder/destruction.  I guess it's going both ways at once.  I think that if there were more shamanic institutions in our global society, that were turning people on to psychedelic/higher states of consciousness, these more negative scenarios could be more easily diverted.

So funny that you bumped this thread. I was watching a vid of his novelty/ complexity theory last night. It actually lines up with a few theories of my own. For one thing, internet and smart phones mean living consciousness is interacting with itself on a scale that didn't happen decades ago, for better or for worse...

Also funny that you mention entrophy because I was thinking that novelty/ complexity sounds like the opposite of entrophy.

As someone who has had alot  of experience with DMT, i watched pretty much everything and read everything from the man. Its the same with Andrew Gallimore regarding DMT. 

I was going to make a thread about DMT, but do not know the websites stance on it. All my  psychedelic   threads were taken down at above top secret because they are illegal, so did not want to risk it on here, which is the same type of site.

It is probably best not to post things that are against the law in your community.

I don't think the moderators here care about that though.

I was able to acquire DMT vape from a store here in Canada.  It's basically sitting there waiting for a rainy day, at this point.  I heard Dennis McKenna say he didn't recommend DMT vape, but the only other form available is a DMT powder, and I think that would be even more difficult to use.  The vape probably has a shelf life though, as it might harden over time.  And the vape pen as well, might not work after a while because of battery life etc.

DMT vape, you guys are legends

I'll never understand the drug thing. Just man up and admit life sucks and the drugs help you get through it

"I'm promise you dude, just take this drug you will see!" wtf, honestly

I remember Terence McKenna once called magic mushrooms "a cure for boredom".  And he always called psychedelics "escape" i.e. escape from the Hell that is modern civilization (TV, malls, the rat race of work and endless consumerism etc etc).  If psychedelics are not habit forming, and actually give people insights and novel ideas, and also psychological therapy, then I don't really see the problem with it.

I tend to prefer beer and marijuana on a Saturday night.  But 4 hours of drinking 6-8 cans of beer versus 4 hours of psycho-spiritual insight on magic mushrooms and listening to enlightening music, it's easy to see which one of those is better for you in the long run.  Plus psychedelics are only necessary once or twice a year, at most.  Whereas I could easily fall into wanting to drink booze every day!  Especially nowadays with all of the stress and insanity in the world...
