CULT OF UR

“We’re dealing with engines of manipulation and suasion that have studied us with greater care than you would wish to imagine, in order to obtain certain ends not necessarily friendly to you, this is what I meant when I said culture is not your friend. Culture is out to screw you in some way. You know, it wants to sell you something or it wants to have you react in a certain way.”

– Terence McKenna

Their thesis intriguingly explores the “biologically embodied mind,” which they contend gave rise to similarities in Paleolithic art across the continents dating back 40,000 years, and can also be seen in the body painting patterns dating back even further, according to recent archelogical discoveries.
