Summary

Guest speaker: Terence McKenna PROGRAM NOTES: Today's talk by Terence McKenna takes us on an in-depth description of what he experiences on a DMT trip. While it is a story that we have heard before in various guises, Terence once again manages to tell his DMT stories in a way that makes it seem like you are hearing it for the first time, and with new detail if that can be imagined. Who else, for example, would describe a DMT trip as feeling like you are a baby in a maternity ward's playpen. And this was new for me, at one point Terence says that when it comes to DMT, “I like to do it outside on a sunny hillside.” His description of a new delivery method that he was developing for smoked DMT sounds almost medieval. Followers of Terence will find his answer about his health quite revealing. And in regards to machine elves, et al, he says it's all a lie, but a lie which points toward a truth that cannot be told. If you only intend to listen to Terence McKenna talk about DMT one time, then this is the talk for you.

0:09.1	Greetings
0:11.6	Greetings from Cyberdelic Space
0:19.4	This is Lorenzo and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon.
0:23.9	And for our fellow saloners who have been keeping up with the status of our fund drive that took place during the month of March,
0:30.6	I'm pleased to let you know that, well, we've got another full year of podcasting coming your way.
0:36.3	Collectively, 209 fellow saloners have donated enough to keep us going.
0:41.6	Now, if you've been watching the little fund drive thermometer on our program notes blog,
0:47.0	you've noticed that we didn't quite make it all the way through next March,
0:50.2	but we are safely paid up through the end of January, and, well, I have a plan to make up the difference.
0:57.6	Actually, the little shortfall is probably a blessing in disguise because, well, it's caused me to quit procrastinating and begin work on restructuring the back end of our delivery system.
1:09.9	You see, when I began these podcasts ten years ago, I had no idea that they'd still be going today.
1:16.0	And as a result, the code that supports the salon, well, it's a huge cluge, spaghetti code.
1:23.2	And us geeks know that eventually that can become a problem.
1:26.8	Now, the main thing that's changed over these 10 years is that eight years ago the iPhone
1:31.5	was introduced.
1:32.6	And that eventually resulted in the situation we have today where more people stream these
1:37.8	podcasts than download them.
1:39.7	At first, I didn't pay any attention to this phenomena because, well, my service provider
1:43.7	gives me unlimited bandwidth, as do almost all of them these days.
