If you've never read Ted K, I recommend it. It's not an easy read, but he wasn't wrong.

Maybe I'm thinking of a different manifesto, but didn't ol' teddy start ranting about elves and stuff towards the end of the document?

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Tbh it's been a while since I read much past the first few sections.

That said, he was MKULTRA'd real hard. I wouldn't be too surprised if some Terrence McKenna-type weirdness snuck in there.

I think the elves must have been someone else. Ted's manifesto was mostly about technology being the root of society's problems.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Yeah you're probably thinking of McKenna. He was real into talking about the elves he met on DMT.

I prefer his "jeweled self-dribbling basketballs" to "elves".
