Timothy Leary Live in Sanfrancisco 1979 (2 parts)

PROGRAM NOTES:

[NOTE: All quotations are by Timothy Leary.]

âFor the last four or five thousand years, freedom and intelligence and individualism have been moving in an unbroken chain from East to West. So that here on the banks of the Pacific Ocean we obviously have assembled the most advanced nervous systems on the planet.â

Dr. Timothy LearyâWe all live within the reality bubble that our nervous system projects.â

âNeurology was the real revolution of the Sixties.â

âYour theory of evolution determines, really, what kind of a life youâre gonna lead.â

âThe old theory, by old I mean the one theyâre still teaching in your colleges, says that new speciation takes tens of millions of years to create a new species. Well if thatâs so letâs go back to Quaaludes. Why bother?â

âThe Sixties was a genetically designed and programmed paedomorphic revolt against adult authority.â

âIâm sure that most of the people who have felt alienated, I think many of the people who are put in mental hospitals, are simply people who were born with nervous systems that we call futique, as opposed to antique.â

âItâs so simple, that to be in the right place youâre in the right time. Tune the place you are to the vibrations of the brain circuits that you want to activate at the time.â

âEvolution never tries to change grown-ups.â

âWe didnât grow from the apes. We refused to become apes.â

âI urge you, at all costs, to avoid terminal adulthood.â
