The Most Important Message Terence McKenna Left for Humanity

This speech talks about the "golden age" of humanity, where early humans were nomadic, there was no concept of material possesion, of parental lineage, and of dominance hierarchies. For tens of thousands of years they regularly consumed mushrooms containing psilocybin. Terence credits this with the birth of human culture, festivals, and other qualia unique to the human experience.

Terence McKenna advocated the exploration of altered states of mind via the ingestion of naturally occurring psychedelic substances; for example, and in particular, as facilitated by the ingestion of high doses of psychedelic mushrooms, ayahuasca, and DMT, which he believed was the apotheosis of the psychedelic experience.
