I know. I hate having to click on a link to watch a YouTube video too.
Terence McKenna was a shaman. Meaning he experimented a lot with entheogens and was basically a modern-day philosopher. Now I haven't done a ton of research on him but I did come across these videos of his speeches on YouTube. He explains ideas which I really took to and understood well. I hope you do too.
