Terence McKenna Interview
I am so happy to have come across this astonishing interview with Terence McKenna from October 1998, where he describes his Novelty Theory to director John Hazard. In the most comprehensible way describes his theory of why time seems to be accelerating, the Chinese I-Ching and its connection to our DNA like the blowing of wind.. to hyper-complexification, connectedness of all information, Archaic figures and their revival, the end of time (or our world as we know it) over to Shamanism, psychedelic substances and so forth. His views are radical but none the less presented in a factual convincing and believable way.
This interview is over an hour long, and gives you enough information for a years reflection, nevertheless it doesn't seem long enough to answer all the questions it raises. Sadly Terence McKenna is not around anymore. He died in 2000 of a brain tumor and this interview seems to have been one of his lasts. My sentiment is one of gratitude for his research, curious nature and accomplishments in his life on Earth.
