This talk is great and Terence is in a particularly good mood. Enjoy.
I also wanna point you to this resource of eye-opening videos mainly based on Alan Watts and Terence Mckenna’s ideas, lectures and books:

Matthew David Segall
Footnotes 2 Plato

Arthur Schopenhauer

La Planète sauvage is a classic of surreal animation. But it’s far more than just dazzlingly beautiful, it holds many thought-provoking ideas to contemplate on.

This account from lalaland is beautifully bridging the gap between science and spirituality to open up our perception of the world.
Aldous Huxley
The Doors Of Perception
