So wait, dudes were "given" the blueprints for constructing this amazing mind-matter transference "machine"--if I'm understanding the gist of it all--and they either failed to get the info straight, or were utterly incapable of comprehending how such a "thing" might be constructed, right? Then why, I ask, should we pay heed to their abject failure? Maybe they were merely mediocre conduits to the "whatever"? Maybe they just weren't "evolved" enough to comprehend what was actually going down? Something like that, anyhow.

"Global shift in consciousness"? For all seven and a half billion of us shamelessly hairless monkeys?? Oh, my bad! You meant for the "few" million "evolved" white privileged drug addicts only. I get it now. Many thanx, o great waspish father who rules on "high" (quite).

Oh yeah! Well, I for one eagerly await the inevitable onslaught of our dear cybernetic overlords. (Hai, guys!!!) May their rule be ever so swift and mercilessly FAIR to all, howsoever deserving or not "they" may turn out to be. Here comes the judge! (RIP, Prince Buster.)

Hmm...not knowing anything about the brothers McKenna and their ilk, I am nevertheless predisposed to assuming that these mushroom "DMT entities" and whatnot were clearly hindered by having to deal "directly(?)" with such apparently witheringly mediocre human material. As I noted before, "more's the pity."

As for "self-fulfilling apocalyptic" whatsits, I spent the year steadily growing weaker, more fatigued, to the extent where I genuinely felt I would not survive whatever was about to befall "us" on the 21st of Dec.--two days following my 48th birthday, amusingly enough. Yet here we are, four years later and I'm still a-strugglin' to get by--much the same as most of us poor sniveling extras trudging through this obscene existence in one form or another. Can I get a witness, y'all?

And...absolutely nothing happened. More's the pity.
