Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Check out Food of the Gods by Terrence McKenna.

    There is another guy who is fairly well convinced that mushrooms could save the world, though i'm not sure he was talking about the same kind of mushrooms, if you catch my flow.

    Great book though, positing that hallucinogenic mushrooms were the actual origins of human consciousness\awareness and of original religion and mother culture\society ... very cool stuff.

    :D

    cool...I like how fungii preceded plant of animal life on land, so it can be considered such an integral part of the latticework of life on earth so to speak. A foundation if you will.

    Thank god there are people out there like this that think about these things so thoroughly.

    I'm seeing a wealthy future for this guy.

    If you keep yourself as the final arbiter you will be less susceptible to infection from cultural illusion.
