    I recall Terence McKenna speaking about the increasing speed of everything, information and 'Novelty', we are at this point it seems to me.

    Seems like a golden opportunity to practice discernment. this I do want to engage with, that I don't.
    Do you have a link where he speaks or writes about it?
    Terrence on information and novelty sounds like something I do want to spend a little more time with.

    As a big fan of Terrence, I had been listening to his "tapes" for a very long time now, I uploaded it in a torrent circa 2008, but it seems like always someone is coming up with a new found ones and it became pointless to me to keep up doing that.. Lorenzo from psychedelic salon is the one who has a lot of materials of Terrence, also he knew Terrence personally and he is always coming up with new found "tapes", Terrence was very well connected and he left a lot of resources spread everywhere, Lorenzo try to put it all together in one place which is a good idea, but I still see materials of him elsewhere popping up now and then.. hard to centralize this things.

    Here we go with "Valley of Novelty" https://psychedelicsalon.com/podcast...elty-workshop/

    Terrence was very aware about this information era we are living currently, he was a great person as well, a friend of mine met him in California once and they spent hours talking about aliens and other stuffs like they were best friends. All the info I got from Terrence was because of my friend who introduced me to his materials when I was about 16 years old, and back in 2000/2001 after his death I was converting old VHS tapes interviews into digital to make it available in websites and forums on internet, some of this materials still up there on youtube but I am not engaged on this anymore.

    Also there is this guy called Jason Silva from Venezuela, I used to like him before he went total mainstream, he was like part of Terrence alive and speaking, the way he "touch" the viewer attention is just amazing, total control of the words.

    Sorry to go a bit off topic..

    I remember observing maybe around 2o1o that there was 55,ooo years of reading material available on the internet.

    Wow, I thought, this is impossible until I realised much of which is irrelevant, or even worthless to a person at a time.

    Usually, when you need to find something, you should be able to quite quickly.

    Otherwise, there is something new every day. Learning something new every day becomes easier.

    I still make time for books. Sort of.

    I enjoy reading PA. I do skip around a lot. I think if someone doesn't make their point right away, I have to move on.

    If we use some brevity, hopefully we make our point and others can move on quickly.

    Cheers

    AGREED !

    along with this I have been advocating that video makers presenting vital info eliminate all catchy art, music and filler associated with entertainment upon the start. The second I start a video and see alien grays, explosions, slick stuff or any kind of eye candy other than the critical information, Im out.

    We are in a time where we need to reboot and cleanse our attention palette . I dont want to see art everywhere, hear music filling every scenario and Im certainly not interested in seeing a tatoo above every womans butt crack.

    any artist knows throwing white on a canvas doesnt make your picture bright.
