Archaic Revivals (feat. Terence McKenna)

Well, the archaic revival

There is a way of looking at the entire 20th century

And then every phenomenon of major importance

That you came to mention in the 20th century

Fascism abstract expressions rock and roll

Sexual permissiveness, psychedelic drug-taking

Rave culture, body piercing, jazz

The list is endless

What do all these things have in common?

They are reversions to archaic behaviors

They represent rejections of the Edwardian gentleman

His white man's burden

And represent instead a realization that for us to survive

And live with ourselves, we have to re-empower archaic values

Science has compartmentalized nature

In order to analyze it

And there is no theory of nature as such

And that really what I offering I offering

A theory which covers physics chemistry geology

Biology sociology linguistics the whole thing

In other words, not saying man is some special category

Not saying that we need artificial divisions

But that over the entire domain of known phenomena

This tendency to complexify through time, A

And B, faster and faster, can be discerned

We need a theory of everything
