Terence McKenna, ethnobotanist and consciousness researcher, calls in from his remote Hawaiian mountaintop location to discuss his revolutionary TimeWave Zero theory and its implications for human civilization approaching the millennium. McKenna explains his mathematical model suggesting that time itself is accelerating toward a point of infinite novelty and transformation scheduled for December 21, 2012. The conversation explores his psychedelic research, relationship to Timothy Leary's legacy, and theories about consciousness evolution through plant-based entheogens. McKenna presents his ideas about the increasing complexity and interconnectedness of human experience as evidence of approaching a singular moment in history. The discussion touches on technology's role in accelerating change and how the Internet represents early stages of a global mind emerging. Art probes McKenna's predictions about social transformation and the breakdown of traditional structures as humanity approaches what he terms the "eschaton." The interview showcases McKenna's unique blend of scientific methodology and mystical insight, offering perspectives on human destiny that challenge conventional views of linear time and gradual progress toward an uncertain but transformative future.
