We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. They are a hundred times better educated than their grandparents, and ten times more sophisticated.

In the information-communication civilization of the 21st Century, creativity and mental excellence will become the ethical norm. The world will be too dynamic, complex, and diversified, too cross-linked by the global immediacies of modern (quantum) communication, for stability of thought or dependability of behaviour to be successful.

People have to go out of their mind before they can come to their senses.
Timothy Leary
Image
We cannot study the brain, the instrument for fabricating the realities we inhabit, using the mental constructs of the past.
Timothy Leary
