would anybody like to hear the truth about drug use? here is what nobody tells you about it: you might never die from drugs. you might never completely fracture your mind, as some do. but a real tragedy that WILL happen if you keep using is that one day, when you are 40 or 50, you wake up and realize you invested and spent your life on smoke and dreams and all that's left to you is the emptiness of a permenant immaturity, trying to live like a 16 yr old all your life. a shocking desolation.
I understood this concept of "cool" being an engine of marketing at the age of 12, and that sure made school entertaining. See my peers with a subtle puzzled look on their face as my clothes and behavior both took no attempt at satisfying their standards. And I imagine that my journey through college (of which is also a marketing tool) should be even better still, Although this time I shall rely more on words and ideas which conflict with this obedient culture.
If only the words coming from ones mouth could be the reason they are considered 'cool'. Terence would be the coolest man alive. Unfortunately its entirely based on physical appearance. People trying to be cool have no spirit. Their entire life is chasing their pleasures which are materialistic, vain and they can never have enough of anything. There's no soul to that life, its all physical. And this is our culture, this is what were being sold, that being cool is everything. How lame
this video is awesome----people suffer from inferiority complex disorder and that's why they try so hard to be cool..........if they knew that they were cool then they wouldn't care what others thought of them and they wouldn't have to try to prove anything to anybody--they would just be themselves
@LemonLimeLaughter Maybe it works like this. Many doing trips and journeys or whatever you call it and just some come back from the mountain with a new beautiful flower.
@LemonLimeLaughter indeed man a lot of thinks this guys are saying i already knew them but i couldnt express them..i think by using this plunts build up the same ideas on very important questions to diferent people around the world with diferent education, culture,colour,age.....isnt this amazing??

"I dunno if I'm cool or not, but I'm incredibly resistant to any effort to make me think I'm uncool."
The greatest words I have ever heard spoken by Terrence McKenna.

Ha, yes! And he's wearing sunglasses. Actual picture is in my avatar.
Not really typical for Terence from what I've seen.. the photographer probably took this picture with the intention of making Terence look cool :)
