Thank you for the video links. I had never heard of Jamie Wheal before - I enjoyed listening to his thoughts.
I also enjoy listening to Terence McKenna and Alan Watts every once in a while ... most of what they say often sounds completely irrational, outrageously verbose, ridiculous and border-line ramblings of "mad men" ... but their words are also powerfully disarming, deeply engaging and resonant and finally emotionally embracing. I don't know how to explain it. I wouldn't want to be caught listening to them!
- tictoc 7y agoYeah Jamie Wheal is kind of along the same lines. He has a way with words to say the least. It's intoxicating actually.
- pmoriarty 7y agoI'd encourage you to have a listen to Erik Davis' "Expanding Mind" podcast.[1] Erik Davis is, to my mind, the most interesting and intelligent of the post-McKenna visionaries/psychonauts. He's at the same time much more critical than most of his predecessors, and very open to an interested in extraordinary experiences and what he calls "high weirdness".

- kostadin 7y agoAgreed. Techgnosis was a very influential read for me and Expanding Mind is still a very unique program. A bit late probably, but for anyone reading this I highly recommend tracking down Davis’s interview with McKenna conducted shortly before he passed. It was probably one of the first things I heard from either and became interested for life in both.
