    Hilarious at Best, Completely Delusional at Worst

    Admittedly, I don't subscribe to the Philosophy of what Terrence McKenna is talking about in this video, and I'm not going to suggest that he is completely wrong. And I'm also not rating the video on the notion that it is a "wrong" philosophy to subscribe too. But this is completely incoherent and bizarre, and precisely what you would expect from a show in San Francisco.

    Psychedelia gets a bad wrap due to things like this. Because psychedelics can range from an out of body experience to, oh so random visuals that look hilarious. And enough oh so random stuff is made that people just think the genre is completely worthless. I'm sorry Terrence McKenna and Ken Adams, you have no idea what the purpose of colorful visuals that excite the senses have in this kind of product, and they essentially scream I am not a perfectionist in any way.

    Also, no one cares that you smoke weed, you are completely delusional and I wouldn't be surprised if the 21 10/10 ratings were all people that worked on this production. This is very sad.

    DMT delusion

    This film presents the bizarre musings and rantings of Terence McKenna high on...? His insight can be extremely amusing and/or deeply disturbing. Nevertheless, if you can get into it, you will be provided with a bizarre rollercoster ride of experience as your senses are bombarded with strange ideas and new concepts of which, many, or most, will make no sense. All this is accompanied by great ambient techno music from Space Time Continuum and predictable, yet still adequately psychedelic, visuals by Rose X. If you can get hold of a copy of this, it's best watched with a bunch of armchair philosophers and/or ravers as extremely interesting conversation may ensue....
