The Most Important Thing You Do In

Individual Societies Begin In Harmonious Adaptation To The Environment And, Like Individuals, Quickly Get Trapped Into Nonadaptive, Artificial, Repetitive Sequences.

We Are Dealing With The Best-educated Generation In History. But They've Got A Brain Dressed Up With Nowhere To Go. Science Is All Metaphor. In The Information Age, You Don't Teach Philosophy As They Did After Feudalism. You Perform It. If Aristotle Were Alive Today He'd Have A Talk Show. If You Don't Like What You Are Doing, You Can Always Pick Up Your Needle And Move To Another Groove. If You Take The Game Of Life Seriously, If You Take Your Nervous System Seriously, If You Take Your Sense Organs Seriously, If You Take The Energy Process Seriously, You Must Turn On, Tune In, And Drop Out.

If You Want To Move Beyond Hive-docility, You Must Become God The Moralist.

My Historical Reading Of The Situation Is That These Great Monolithic Empires Developed, Rome, Turkey, And So Forth, And They Always Break Down When Enough People, And It's Always The Young, The Creative, And Minority Groups Drop Out And Go Back To A Tribal Form.

Take Responsibility For Making Your Own Life Beautiful.
