There is also an argument to be made that Timothy Leary made a real mess of things and at minimum, certainly didn't help the situation any.

- spiritplumber 6y agoI've helped scan and archive Timothy Leary's stuff (I was dating his testamentary executor for a while). He certainly had an interesting life! I don't see how he made a mess of things.
- neom 6y agoFirst and foremost, thank you for your work! And I would certainly say you're likely considerably more versed than I. From my research, I felt like his escapades at Millbrook and also his shenanigans with harvard did 2 things: On Millbrook, pushed away from his work as serious work and more towards play, that rubbed people the wrong way. On Harvard, I don't think the universities were as open to ideas in that direction after he caused a ruckus. I did quite a bit of research, but it was years ago, if you wanna drop me an email I'll see if I can rustle up the things that lead me down that thought path and send them over, it was mostly from interviews of others around that time.
