Thank you for this, it's super interesting! My admittedly much less informed view was that Brand and people like Leary weren't so much informing, more so shapin

Thank you for this, it's super interesting! My admittedly much less informed view was that Brand and people like Leary weren't so much informing, more so shaping culture. Probably along the lines of their personal ideas but also possibly in conjunction with the US government to defang the anti-war and civil rights movements. I'd love to hear your thoughts on that if you have any.
