[NOTE: All quotations below are by Terence McKenna.]

11:53 “There’s no question but what the human imagination has taken to itself so much power that it no longer can remain on the surface of the planet. We sort of have to part company with the planet for our own good and for its [own good].”

14:15 “I think that the old evolutionary model, which was that evolution was the struggle of the fittest, and the devil take the hindmost, is pretty much discredited. And we now understand that what is maximized in evolution is not the sharpness of the fang or the length of the claw, but the ability to cooperate with other species, harmoniously. That’s what’s being maximized. … Humans are a perverse lot, and I suppose what one can reasonably hope for is incremental advances toward the good.”

09:42 Terence McKenna: “This is a think-along lecture, by-the-way, and you’re free to think-along at any point that you feel so moved to do so.”

(Minutes : Seconds into program)

04:11 Ralph begins with “Fractals on my mind, an epic in four parts.” . . . Part one, the sandy beach.

13:54 Ralph Abraham: “It’s the fractal boundary, the sandy beach, which destroys determinism.”

16:58 Ralph Abraham: “At the age of one, or two, or three, or something, when speech is beginning, what was going on before that? Presumably, that was what everyone was doing before speech came altogether if there ever was such a time. And that childhood paradigm is not vaporized and replaced when the linguistic phase arrives.”
