Torrent description

TerenceMcKenna (1946 – 2000) was one of the most provocative andentertaining philosopher-bards of the twentieth century. He standsalongside Aldous Huxley and Timothy Leary as a lion of psychedelicthought, but his penetrating ideas about art, technology, and theapocalyptic forces of history went well beyond the usual drug tales.
Blessed with aleprechaun’s gift of gab, McKenna developed a cult following onthe lecture circuit. Today recordings of his strange and oftenhilarious talks are traded like Dead bootlegs. As fans of his“trialogues” with Rupert Sheldrake and Ralph Abrahamknow, McKenna also came alive in conversation. But though scores ofMcKenna lectures circulate on tape and on the Internet, few in-depthrecorded interviews with the man are available.
In November of1999, six months before McKenna succumbed to brain cancer, journalistand author Erik Davis visited the alchemical philosopher and mushroombard at his home on the big island of Hawaii. A DAT machine recordedtheir long evening chats, which took place in McKenna’slibrary. These tapes were the final recordings of McKenna’scareer. Terence McKenna: the Last Interview is a two-disc set thatcompiles the best and brightest nuggets from these conversations.
Along withruminations about entheogens, culture, and the future, McKenna talksabout his childhood and his experiences traveling in the east. He andDavis also explore the psychedelic implications of animation and newtechnologies, as well as McKenna’s spiritual beliefs. Finally,the conversations turn to the problem of death and dying, a topicthat McKenna engages with admirable humor and courage. This interviewwith Erik Davis is the last recording of McKenna’s career,featuring Terence's final thoughts on entheogens, culture, thefuture, his own spiritual beliefs, and the grim problem of cancer,death and dying.
