For those of you who are unaware, Leary was a 60’s main player who was largely responsible for introducing LSD to society. This image is NOT a homage, it’s just a statement. There was an ad campaign in the 80’s that showed a fried egg to represent “your brain on drugs”. The cracked eggs represent the members of our society who were warped as a result of Leary’s influence. Leary died a few years back and his remains were sent into space…
The common way to think about the nature of the human mind, is that it is either sane or insane. LSD hints to us that there is an area of the mind which could be called unsane, beyond sanity, and yet not insane. Think of a circle, with a fine split in it. You go around the circle to sanity, and on the other end of the circle, close to insanity, but not insanity, is unsanity.
I got a couple of viable answers. One was that life is that way. / Another had to do with disenfranchisement. Oh, I thought, that. you have residual PTSD. / you were a child in the 60’s / ask Dr. Leary. / hmmm social experiments and social/cultural revolution brought me something else / and / that’s a clinical thing, sadly I realized this morning that I have PTSD that works like this: I have the unshake-able idea that at the peak of joyous social change really bad and really sad things are going to happen. I got the notion (suddenly not so ephemeral and italicized) that revolution costs enormous, sad, tragic, life-long, not so great life-altering costs. I am a child of the 60’s. Please forgive me.
If ever a Squirrel could have Scottish ancestry well this would be the guy, Captured outside my mother-in-laws front yard tree, he has the expression of slightly unimpressed. In my books he is a definite Mc Leary, the way he is learing down at me:-} Photo take by Canon IXUS
