Remarkable how our times were brought about…

Interesting article – a lot to digest as it is densely written. Interesting to read how Huxley fit into history…

I particularly find the section on music very interesting, the dissonant composers like Schonberg, the taking down of aesthetics, the fake guru movement, etc…

Thank you for sharing.

There are four parts to the essay, just click on the “part #” to go the various parts.

Between Aldous Huxley, H. G. Wells, and George Orwell, you’ve pretty much got Mr. Western Globaloney’s goals for the future.

Yep they were the worker bees, along with several others. This seems to be the birthplace….

I read through all four essays – very interesting!

Monte Verità looks to me like one of their gathering spots, not unlike Esalen and some other places. I get the impression that, for the most part, the birthplace of this nuttery (like so much other oligarchical nuttery) was England, with its Malthusianism, social Darwinism, and its self-serving 19th-century misinterpretations of Hindu and Buddhist thought.

It’s true there was a German contingent that grafted on some of its own nutty ideas, such as Freudian psychology and Frankfurt School Marxism.

Excellent find! Thank you for posting!

You are welcome. Good to find so many pieces of the puzzle put together in one place.

Jim certainly did his part in the counter culture milieu. I was caught and bought his records as a teenager.

Yep, that’s it in a nutshell. Out classed class envy….DESTROY THEM!

This same quote could be applied today to the USA and its planned destruction economically through the same silent coup scenario used by the British on its colonies.

…and if you feel like adventuring into another rabbit hole:

I just found this interview that goes into the San Francisco scene in the 60’s with some hidden gems thrown in that I have not heard before. There is still many more dots to connect and that movie of all the original players with Timothy Leary at a reunion is like a confession.

Exactly. I’ll never forgot listening to him on a call-in show and the last caller of the night said they hoped he didn’t come down with cancer. What?? That was his last interview.

Good discussion. I’ve seen the aforementioned video interview referenced in the podcast. I was one drawn into the counterculture movement in the early seventies while in high school. LSD on window pane graphic paper was even available for $5 and this was in town of 3,500 in southwest Wyoming. I purchased two hits. All I remember is a weird feeling and being unable to focus my thoughts. Nothing to report and no big deal. It was my first experience with any recreational drug. Later on in life I sampled them all including alcohol along with my peers and friends. Now I think I’d fall into the Nazi category the podcasters talked about. Now I don’t partake in drugs and drink only rarely in a social setting.
Later on in 1994 I attended an event sponsored by Kansas State University with Timothy Leary as the guest speaker. His message was about the coming personal computer and the internet culture that was to follow. Guess he was still part of the CIA’s program.
