    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?

      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.

        He wasn’t drugged though…the professor had him “discuss/debate” with another “student” who was really a young prosecutor from Boston with the sole objective arguing fiercely against any perspective Ted presented, to fuck with his perception meter. But no gallons of acid for him.

          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”.

      I’m wondering if you’re confusing Ted K with Terence McKenna? Very dissimilar people but could be a function of reading both around the same time in your life, maybe.

      If not and you remember what you’re thinking about, and it’s indeed a manifesto by a criminal ranting about elves, I’d love a name/title if you feel like sharing.

        Honestly, I’ve read a lot of manifestos and writings of people without the firmest grasp on reality and they get kinda jumbled up. It might have been McKenna, it might have been the time cube guy (whose name I forget), it could have been a dmt trip report on erowid.

      No.

      I may not agree with everything he says. But it’s quite logical and well argued.

      Nothing about elves. More about how technology and capitalism and neo-liberal leftism have ruined the human condition, and the need for revolution.

        The mistake you’re making with ol Teddy is thinking he doesn’t know what the difference between a neoliberal and a leftist is.

        Bro was nuts and blaming everything on the leeeeeeeffffftttttt in the middle of Reaganism.
