I’m supposed to be writing a script but it’s Timothy Leary’s birthday and even though he’s been dead for a while now that doesn’t matter. Happy Birthday, Tim!
Here he is expounding on the Religion Of Intelligence:
Now I know Timothy Leary has become both a cliché and an icon but that doesn’t negate the fact that he did a lot to open a deep crack in the illusion of “reality” in western culture. Nixon hated him – that’s good enough for me.
For a more succinct and eloquent exposition of absolutely everything Leary ever ranted about we must turn, as we now do when in search of any “real” news, to the comedians. In this case – the sublime Bill Hicks:
Thank you, Bill.
Happy birthday, Tim.
Cheers.
It's going to be more of a personal news aggregator with a featured video blog from yours truly. We'll see how long that lasts. So bear with me - thanks.
