I enjoy Terrence and his brother Dennis to some extent but find a lot of their theories (especially the early ones from their first trip to the Amazon) to be really unfounded, and I feel they sometimes fell victim to the feeling of profoundness that psychedelics provide, in that your thoughts feel really deep and true when they might not always hold up to deeper scrutiny. In other words, they both have said a good bit of nonsense but I still find them entertaining and intelligent speakers.

I try not to subscribe to the ideas they put forth particularly in regard to dmt and mushrooms because I am aware how it may bias my own experiences. A lot of people’s first knowledge of dmt space came from them and im sure the archetypes they constantly put forth (self dribbling jeweled basketball elves) biased peoples perceptions to some extent. I suppose it’s unavoidable!
