Gregg:

"Entropy" is just *degenerate* life (i.e. death) -- so it need not  
concern us too much.  No, physics (and math) is not where  
understanding begins.

"Consciousness" is just what people what to *engineer* (yes, with  
drugs and other technologies) -- so, since what actually happens to us  
is at the level of perception and that's *not* conscious, it need not  
concern us very much.

"Psychedelics" are just a technology for forcing our "minds" to  
operate as-if we never learned to read-and-write (i.e. archaic  
neo-pagan mythic orality) -- so, since DIGITAL technology returns us  
to "Secondary Literacy," their effects need not concern us much at all.

Yes -- we have more important things to do (but, truth be told, I am  
the historian of LSD and I once synthesized my own psilocybin, way  
back when I was a "cook" and doing such things was still legal) . . .
