Science fictions are suppressed only when likely to contribute more knowledge and freedom than the defensive orthodoxies they challenge.

Think for yourself. Know what you're doing. Question authority.

You simply cannot understand psychedelic drugs, which activate the brain, unless you understand something about computers.

Don't be intimidated by Caesar's Hollywood fake versions of religiosity. If life has a meaning for you beyond the TV-studio game, you are religious! Spell it out!

Psychedelic drugs cause paranoia, confusion, and total loss of reality in politicians that have never taken them.
