@LucidBuilder it does not account for anything that went on before the big bang but it has done a phenomenal job of explaining things from that point on. Science is the best thing mankind has ever come up with.

@jimmyshitbags He said besides technicians and engineers...the science that tries to explain the universe is severely limited.

Man, this background music is really disruptive.

@dgmulf exactly

@iousup how about 100%? music in mckenna videos is such an absurd idea. as if you can somehow extend the "vibe" of terence mckenna's amazingly deep and insightful perspective with some cheesy little synthesizer playing in the background.

terence is talking about the human experience and how the scientific method isnt applied to it. many natural human thoughts would be looked down on by science as they cannot repeat the results

I am amazed to hear a man who talks so much sense say this sort of thing about science. Science is all we've got, it's the most important tool humanity has ever made.

I'll have to disagree with Mckenna on this. As Carl Sagan once said, Science is more than a body of knowledge it is a way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. Science does not hold onto things as "truth" rather it focuses on providing theories on how certain phenomenon MAY behave. I would also like to add that the information that Science presents is anything but "boring" and is not above the grasp of the average individual.

@amnesia529 I agree and yet disagree. All imaginable playings out of the universe are all happening simultaneosly, because from every angle, the universe is always that single perfect entity. Everything is everything...is everything is everything. . .
