Was curious as to the younger set and their experiences.
Nope, still got (nearly) a month to go!Craner, Tea, Rich, vim, all in their 40s.
Have you caught up with him recently to see whether his fant- I mean prophecy came true?The earliest one I'm rememeber was this lad I worked with in Starbucks and psychedelics gave him the sense that life is a kind of game you can win if you're sort of spiritually and intellectually advanced enough. The barriers come down and suddenly you're driving a sports car, a blonde with big tits in the passenger seat.
Oh well as long as there's still time to play plenty of Scrabble and drink lots of cocoa then it's all good.A slow death too Sir as I can attest.
There are a range of ways psychedelics can imprint a right wing vision of the world. I've seen a few different permutations in my time.

That's the basic level. It's called the power of manfestation.
Every Grapejuice piece I can remember reading has had at least some acknowledgement of this fact, but also says "Oh but you can also be into all this stuff and still be a nice, tolerant lefty like me, of course." And I've never quite found the exact bit of text that explains how. It strikes me that the occult is inherently right-wing because it necessarily involves considering yourself part of an elite, or at least, it involves reading certain texts, doing certain rituals and perhaps taking certain drugs that you hope will elevate you to this elite. It is, at any rate, not for the common man. That's why it's hidden in the first place.a lot of occult stuff psychedelia dovetails with is right wing. Solar phallic power worship. Racial typologies like those in Blavatsky. Triumph of the will. Men are men and women are women.
Whenever I see someone making the lazy, hippyish argument that "There'd be no racism or war if we all just did shrooms, maaan", it makes me want to say "Please, read about the Aztec civilization".I know from bitter experience they have the power to let in the darkness as well as the light.
