I don't really advocate for psychedelics. I don't really think anybody needs to do them, or has to do them. For me, they were the only way I could have cracked open my own spirit in a way.

Life as an end is qualitatively different from life as a means.

We live in a culture where everything is designed for our comfort or entertainment but nothing satisfies. At our core, we remain insatiable, constantly on the prowl for new commodities and pleasant sensations to fill the void.

I totally think we have a future on the planet. I just think that we have to get away from Western thinking, which is very much founded on dualisms.

Individuals who are really inspirational are always what changes history. Gandhi had a bunch of good ideas, and he led a non - violent revolution that transformed India.

Deep down, nobody wants a job to occupy his or her time. We want a mission that inspires us.

If you step back from it and really think about what the mass media does on a global scale, the most significant thing it does is coordinate behaviour.
