It's only funny if you've read Terence McKenna's work. Nebuchadnezzar7658 (talk) 00:50, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Confusing
I find this current text confusing and contradictory: McKenna's meetings with "entities from other dimensions" led him to believe in ideas like collective consciousness and consciousness being the fundamental substance of reality (idealism), unlike physicality being fundamental (materialism). This is not to suggest he supports non-materialist neuroscience since an idealist can accept neuroscience 100% while saying neuroscience is an idea, something that is perceived and not something that is. He has never described any dualist model of the brain that would violate parsimony. Can you make this sound more coherent, ? I've read psychedelic literature in my distant past, and I frankly am not impressed by what I've seen by McKenna. Bongolian (talk) 02:05, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
