In this recording, The Bard transports us to the 19th century by reading a passage from the first official work of drug-writing (excluding the Bible, Bagavad Gita, etc), Fitz Hugh Ludlow’s The Hashish Eater (with sound effects!).

1,000,000 A.D.?
In the new book ‘Year Million: Science at the Far Edge of Knowledge’ various theoreticians write exposes on the very distant future (a million years instead of the usual 100 years pondered by futurists) from
“planets [that] will be converted into generic nano-engineered stuff known as ‘computronium’ [and] assembled into Matrioshka brains, or M-brains [...] which are built round a star to collect all its radiant energy [and] each shell would be filled with intelligence, using waste energy from the one beneath”
to
“evolved intelligence will tap into the quantum computation of the cosmos to let us commune with the souls of stones”

Boom Book
“the first book ever published about psy-trance culture. But it goes beyond that.
The “Boom Book” was a project made during 2007 as a commemoration of Boom’s 10th anniversary.
This book is a collaborative project made by anthropologists, journalists, designers, illustrators, poets, musicologists, and photographers to capture the essence of the Boom Festival. The Boom Boom includes essays, interviews, visionary art by Alex Grey, Robert Venosa or Android, and innovative texts about psy-trance.”

Biometrics and the Human/Plant Interface
Linked is a 1/2 hour video of a talk by biotechnology-rhetoric extraordinaire, Richard Doyle.
I’m reading his second book, Wetwares, which seems, so far, to be an advanced exploration of reality and technology through language. The engaging and dimensional style is reminiscent of such worldy word-wielders as Jonathan Ott, Terence McKenna, William Burroughs, Gilles Deleauze and even James Joyce.
“Doyle is currently completing a literary trilogy with a scholarly book about archaic and contemporary psychedelic media technologies and the evolution of mind: Ecodelic! Plants, Rhetoric and the Evolution of The Noösphere.”
Here’s the link to the video. >LINK<
More info and some very cool audio lectures are available on his wiki, Biotelemetrica.

The Dec. of Ind. is a beautifully articulated statement of extremely advanced philosophy. Go figure! Huh!
