"According to computer scientist Dr. Jacques Vallee,
information is now doubling every 18 months.
Nearly four billion years of evolution to get to the
first tool. Almost four _million_ years to arrive
at the information density of Rome in 1 AD. Only
one-and-a-half thousand years for information to
double and for the West to arrive at Leonardo, the
high point of the Renaissance and the dawning of
Protestantism. Two-and-a-half _centuries for the next
doubling, the rise of Industrialism, the birth of
democracy - ... - only six years for the doubling of
information between 1967 and 1973..."

"Mars is essentially in the same orbit...somewhat the
same distance from the Sun, which is very important.
We have seen pictures where there are canals, we
believe, and water. If there is water, that means there
is oxygen. If there is oxygen, that means we can breathe."

the ladies' room, and pinned her against a wall"

My friend Eric said he was listening to the radio
last week and some report spoke of a guy who was
running across America to show that everyone
can get along. (He set out to find goodness in the
hearts of humans) Two guys stopped him on his run.
"Hey, are you that guy who is running across America
to show that everyone can get along?" The guy
said yes and they beat him up, took his money and
threw him off a bridge.

"Naomi waved when he turned at the door, then
handed me the notes. We'd be stopping at the
newspapers, demanding coverage of the senior
citizen contingent at the food rally. I organized
the notes on the clipboard while she drove. Then
I copied over neatly the poem Mother Weeelll had
composed on the spot. "Good Book taught me how
to live right and resist wrong," it began.
"Old folkes forced to eat dog food to live is
as wrong as you can get," the other woman
contributed. She worked that into the poem too.
I figured it'd make a good companion piece to the
article about the old folkes and the rally."

SPY quoted the monthly journal:
_Medical Aspects of Human Sexuality_
"A psychiatrist in Manhattan wrote in about a patient who
was in the Army and wondered whether his sexual practices
made him "different" from other people: 'I like girls, and I
certainly enjoy sex with them, but...I like having sex with
guys, too...[And] from what I understand, the other guys in my
unit never had sex with anybody in their family. I used
to have sex with my mother, my father, and sisters and
brothers...And I used to have sex with some of the [farm]
animals.'
When the psychiatrist asked whether the soldier could
afford to get private professional help when he went back
to civilian life, the patient said, 'Doctor, that's a very
personal question.' Ba-dump?"

"Japanese researchers are working to replace silicon
computer chips with a biological substance found in
egg whites...[which] can carry electronic information
faster than conventional silicon chips. Some scientists
believe that combining molecule-size transistors made
with biological substances may be the most direct path for
technology to mimic the brain's thinking processes."

"Tom Brokaw has tried to suppress a home video starring
his daughter in a parody of the Patty Hearst
kidnapping. She is introduced by the head of the
Citizens Liberation Front: 'You will meet the golden
child of the media, daughter of the chief pig and
nightly network pawn, re-educated, ready to fight for the
revolution.' Then Andrea Brokaw says, 'I am a child
of the media. I have lived a life enslaved by the
institution that bore me. Now, I am free.'"

"The rethinking of life as machine has also brought us
to the age of biotechnology. As we have noted, with
recombinant DNA technology it is now possible to snip,
insert, recombine, rearrange, edit, program, and
produce human genetic material. We are creating new
combinations of living things just as our ancestors
were able to combine various inert materials to
create the machines of the industrial agree. With this
newfound ability to manipulate the very "blueprint"
of living organisms, we assume a disturbing new role
in the natural scheme of things."

a High Times interview with Terence McKenna.
Terence "has devoted most of his life exploring [the
question,]... Did hallucinogens play a crucial role
in human evolution?"
HIGH TIMES
You're recognized by many as one of the great
explorers of the 20th century. You've trekked
through the Amazonian jungles and soared through
the uncharted regions of the brain, but perhaps your
ultimate voyages lie in the future, when humanity
has mastered space technology and time travel.
What possibilities for travel in these two areas do you
foresee, and how do you think these new technologies
will affect the future evolution of the human species?
TERENCE MCKENNA
I suppose most people believe space travel is right around
the corner. I certainly hope so. I think we should all
learn Russian in anticipation of it, because apparently the US
government is incapable of sustaining a space program.
The time travel question is more interesting. Possibly
the world is experiencing a compression of technological
novelty that is going to lead to developments that are very
much like what we would imagine time travel to be.
We may be closing in on the ability to transmit information
forward into the future, and to create an informational
domain of communication between various points in time.
How this will be done is difficult to imagine, but things like
fractal mathematics, superconductiity, and
nanotechnology offer new and novel approaches to the
realization of these old dreams. We shouldn't assume time
travel is impossible simply because it hasn't been done.
There's plenty of latitude in the laws of quantum physics
to allow for moving information through time in various
ways. Apparently you can move information through time,
as long as you don't move it through time faster than light.

The black budget began its sharp ascent in the 1980s.
As the Pentagon's budget doubled, the secret budget
quadrupled to an estimated $36 billion a year. It financed
wonder weapons for World War III, billion-dollar nuclear
bombers, and space-based brains to win six-month
nuclear wars. And now in the 1990s, though the prospect
of nuclear Armageddon between the United States and
the Soviet Union has evaporated, the secret projects
grind on. Billions are still being spent covertly to
build nuclear bombers that can fly at eight times
the speed of sound, underground nuclear-war
command posts for the president and his peers,
nuclear-powered engines for Star Wars rockets,
and a hundred more highly classified military projects.

"Police in Papua, New Guinea, solved the mystery
of an arm found underneath a truck in Mt. Hagen
when a man contacted police 150 miles away in
Lae to report his missing. The man, who had been
drinking, recalled driving towards Lae with his
right arm hanging out of the window when a truck
passed in the opposite direction. Some time later,
he felt some pain and noticed his arm wasn't there.
Police searched for the missing limb but found
nothing until a truck driver noticed the arm beneath
his truck and reported it."
