Evolutionary Agents

by Timothy Leary

An encore to Musings on Human Metamorphoses in which Leary delves deeper into his vision of "human future history." He likens human society to that of insect hives and shows how certain evolved evolutionary agents (mutants) are upsetting hive and causing it to evolve. Eventually we will become the aliens. The book describes the struggle between the forces moving into the future and those attempting to stop change. While most people associate Leary solely with LSD and debauchery, this fascinating discourse has little mention of drugs.

An icon of 1960s counterculture, Leary is most famous as a proponent of the therapeutic and spiritual benefits of LSD. He coined and popularized the catch phrase "Turn on, tune in, drop out."

Po legendzie Leary'ego spodziewałem się większej rewolucji, a tu trochę bełkot człowieka naćpanego produktami swego umysłu nie poddanymi żadnej krytyce. Ciekawe, że w swym zaślepieniu nie był w stanie dostrzec, że jego teoria o kierunku ewolucji ze wschodu na zachód trochę kuleje, bo przecież dla Azji Ameryka leży na wschodzie ;) A że historia kołem się toczy...

Moonshine got him. Yet another giant on acid judged by ants.
