Would you like to help make a terence mckenna tribute on r/place? It will be in the red box above germany on the left side of the map. All help withh be aprreciated!
Actually I plan to make a perfect 3D copy of him, and make fun of him in a cartoon.
He never even figured out Carlos was for real, because he was too busy getting high.
But he did manage to pretend to be an authority on the topic.
Out of absolutely laziness, he missed the holy grail of the exploration of consciousness.
And deceived many young people with his "heroic dosages" and implications there was something to gain from that.
Or that you can't easily repeat it, without the drugs which damage your body so much.
Not to mention, ChatGPT doesn't think much of his "Stoned Ape" theory.
Although I kind of liked that one.
I plan to cartoon his "Stoned Ape" theory as part of the satire.
Except instead of just shrooms some Chimps foraged, a few of them will be smoking joints and speculating on how to make better clubs while they laugh.
I'll make it a Westerly Witch daydream she has, on running into his "booth" at Tito Pakora's international festival of peace and love.
Where all the charlatans have something for sale.

The real truth that dare not speak itself, is that no one is in control, absolutely no one... Nobody is in control. This stuff is ruled by the equations of dynamics and chaos. Now, there may be entities seeking control - the World Bank, the Communist Party, the rich, the somebody-or-others - but to seek control is to take enormous aggravation upon yourself... It's like trying to control a dream.
Even though I think this is the brightest of his sayings there is stupidity in it. Nothing about discipline or effort just 5 grams in utter darkness and that's it.
I don't know if the story with Carlos and a woman asking him about how to find wisdom is true, but it is something fundamental new.
Carlos answer was NOT reading all his books or becoming a member of Cleargreen or following him or whatever (which would be quite convenient for her or any other human), he just said that every night before bed she should tell herself that maybe this one was the last day of her life. And that's how you could become wise.
And yet, Carlos is the trickster for many people.

I'm not necessarily a fan of the teaching style of Carlos.
But he warned us about that in the books.
He was more like Julian.
The people who consider him a trickster however are almost always "first 3 book" people.
Who got sucked into fake teachers like Kachora, and are eager to seek attention in the uneducated part of our community, which doesn't even realize there are 17 books and publications.
And that the "Men of Knowledge" were delusional profiteers who never learned to see.
Not what we want to be at all.
In chat yesterday they were musing over how things can be so bad on Discord.
They have a screenshot of some astral traveler guy saying there's no techniques in the books of Carlos, no one has ever seen any luminous eggs, no one practices Tensegrity, all the inner circle died in the desert after Carlos died.
And so on.
Just repeating stuff from that Saloon magazine article, written by a bad man named Robert Marshall.
Who was just another bad guy, trying to cash in on Carlos.
But we've mostly fixed that situation.
If you google now, more of ours comes up than of the bad people who tried to erase Carlos.
There's another amusing screenshot saying this subreddit is a fake too.
Everyone protecting the little franchise they have hopes of creating for themselves from fake magic they believe will fool others.

I copied that picture, because I like how he can't brush his hair or keep his glasses on straight.
That's what we see in here, when "psychonauts" bother us.
