Summary

Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com Guest speaker: Terence McKenna PROGRAM NOTES: WARNING! If you don't want to hear Terence talking about his Timewave idea yet again, then you should skip this podcast. In this recording, Terence McKenna introduces a concept he humorously names the "Habit Reflex Increment" (HRI). He discusses the need for a unit to measure habit, reflecting on the significance of such a concept in understanding human behavior. McKenna jokes about not naming the unit after himself, contrasting his name with those of renowned scientists like Ohm or Ampere, which he finds more fitting for scientific terms. He then shifts his focus to a broader philosophical reflection, asserting that the struggle humanity faces is not eternal. He conveys an optimistic message, declaring that "novelty is winning." According to McKenna, the emergence of new ideas and innovations will ultimately prevail, bringing positive transformation and progress. Of course, you will have to listen to many more little details about the Timewave than a lot of people can put up with.

0:51.9	The main reason I'm doing this is because, well, this particular recording, as far as I know,
0:57.2	was never released to the public.
0:59.3	And this may be the only instance of it on the web once I get this posted.
1:04.0	So I think it's worthwhile for historical reasons to make sure it's up there.
1:08.7	So if you have already listened to all the time wave material you want to hear,
1:13.9	you can safely skip this last example.
1:17.4	As was recently pointed out in a live salon, moans could often be heard whenever Terence
1:24.1	began setting up his time wave computer.
1:27.0	In a few minutes, you are most likely going to understand why the moans are coming.
