A Missile Silo, A Slew of Psychedelics, A Psychopath and a Girl: Hamilton Morris’ Interview With Krystle Cole

20 11 2011

Wild interview with Krystle Cole, the maker of the very popular Youtube videos about psychedelics on her Neurosoup channel.  Krystle lived in the infamous missile silo that manufactured most of the planet’s LSD around the millennium up to the time of the Pickard bust.  She shares some very captivating and jaw dropping stories about exotic poly-psychedelic drug and sex debauchery, paranoid snitches and the dark world of megalomaniacal dealers using psychedelics as instruments of torture.

A Must See for anyone interested in the complex and controversial Pickard affair:

New York Public Library Buys Timothy Leary’s Archives for $900,000

17 06 2011

Thousands of letters and papers from Ginsberg, Aldous Huxley, William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, Ken Kesey, Charles Mingus, Maynard Ferguson, Arthur Koestler, G. Gordon Liddy and even Cary Grant — an enthusiastic LSD user — are in the boxes.

“How about contributing to my next prose masterpiece by sending me (as you sent Burroughs) a bottle of SM pills,” Kerouac wrote Leary, referring to psilocybin. “Allen said I could knock off a daily chapter with 2 SMs and be done with a whole novel in a month.”

How the Hippies Saved Physics

24 01 2011

Here is an excellent, lively presentation given by MIT Physics lecturer and advanced physics researcher and Doctor of both Physics & History of Science from Harvard, David Kaiser:

How the Hippies Saved Physics, based on a forthcoming book of the same title.

Discussing how people like Nick Herbert, Fritjof Capra, Jack Sarfatti, Saul Paul Sirag, Fred Alan Wolf, Gary Zukav, Richard Feynman, Russel Targ, the Esalen crowd and many more had truly gotten the ball rolling on the modern physics resurgence.

“In recent years, the field of quantum information science has catapulted to the cutting edge of physics. Long before the big budgets and dedicated teams, however, the field smoldered on the scientific sidelines within the hazy, bong-filled excesses of the 1970s New Age movement. Many of the ideas that now occupy the core of quantum information science once found their home amid an anything-goes counterculture frenzy, a mishmash of spoon-bending psychics, Eastern mysticism, LSD trips, CIA spooks chasing mind-reading dreams, and comparable “Age of Aquarius” enthusiasts.”
