| A characteristic of psychotropic agents is that they produce disordered thinking, paranoia and hallucinations. There is a stark difference between a visionary and a hallucinator. Crackpot theories arise all the time after taking hallucinogens, Timothy Leary was a pathetic example. However Moses did not hear "tune in, turn on, drop out". Nobody designs, say, a new computer chip after a psychotropic drug-induced vision. And the Ten Commandments do not represent weird disordered thinking, but logical and considered visions for a moral life. If Moses had followed the edicts of hallucinogenic plants, we would to this day be wandering around in circles in the desert inspecting our navels, as this guy is doing. He does acknowledge that he arrived at his unprovable, untestable, illogical "theory" after taking that Amazon plant over 100 times. Well, testability is the difference between philosophy and science, so at least he has the proper audience for this silly junk science. |
