Greetings from Cyberdelic Space.

This is Lorenzo and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon.

And, as you will hear in just a moment, Terrence McKenna begins this talk by saying that, well, we shouldn't take his new ideas seriously because he doesn't even believe it.

But then, of course, he goes on to unravel an idea that I've never heard him expound before,

and, well, as my mother used to say, it's a real doozy.

Basically, Terence presents a new and very speculative theory

that intertwines the mysterious forces of quasars and non-locality

with the sudden emergence of language on Earth.

Really, he does. Rather than reveal a spoiler here, I think I should just get on with it because,

well, I want to listen to it once again myself. But to be honest, this one is really, really far out,

even for me, at least in the beginning.

But to give it a little perspective, just yesterday I read an article about a recently published

paper from scientists at Harvard University, and they speculate that a technologically advanced

civilization may be hiding here on Earth and might be responsible for the

recent rash of UFOs.

I'd sure like to get my hands on some of that stuff those guys have been smoking.

But now let's hear what came to Terrence's mind while I assume he was smoking a little

something himself, because I think that he was already talking about AI

in October of 1995.

See if you agree.
