Whose Prosthesis Are We? REDUX (Originally Posted 10/08/07)



“I think cultures are kinds of virtual realities where whole populations of people become imprisoned inside a structure which is linguistic and value-based.”

“Now, if we’re gonna become a planetary being, we can’t have the luxury of an unconscious mind, that’s something that goes along with the monkey-stage of human culture.

(Terence McKenna 1998)
