Chicago Seven

Was Timothy Leary Right?

Are psychedelics good for you? Its such a hippie relic of a question that its almost embarrassing to ask. But a quiet psychedelic renaissance is beginning at the highest levels of American science, including the National Institute of Mental Health NIMH and Harvard, which is conducting what is thought to be its first research into therapeutic uses of psychedelics in this case, Ecstasy since the university fired Timothy Leary in 1963. But should we be prying open the doors of perception again? Wasnt the whole thing a disaster the first time?

The Death Interviews

An interview with Timothy Leary & Robert Anton Wilson speculating on the subject of death ?
Time to crank up the black metal and grab a cup of coffee!

Death, being a subject that one can really only speculate on at best, is considered to be one of the great mysteries of life. It is the end for every existing creature on this planet, and neither king nor beggar is spared from its clutches.

I decided to talk to two people who I considered to be among the most intelligent living philosophers around at the time to see what their individual perspectives were on the subject. I put together a list of questions and conducted each of these interviews separately. The answers were quite interesting, to say the least.
