Like, I don't know that it's necessarily a bad thing. In fact, I think it could be good, but these things are complicated. Yeah.

I'd been familiar with him for a while because he wrote this book, The Chemical Muse. It's quite a while ago, actually. So I'd read The Chemical Muse and I felt that most of the ideas that were being articulated in that book were totally believable, not particularly controversial.

This idea that there is ancient Greek use of psychoactive substances of one kind or another seemed totally plausible to me. Why wouldn't there be?

It's very interesting. Yeah. And Hillman is in an interesting position that's sort of analogous to someone like John Allegro or Brian Murasku, where you have... texts that the majority of readers cannot access or translate. And so you are essentially blindly basing your interpretation on the authority of someone who you don't know and don't know what their intentions are.

And this is the case for a lot of things. It's probably the case for science for most people. I'm, lucky and that there is a domain where i'm able to critically assess things and look at the primary evidence and make some kind of a balanced assessment of how likely something is to be true or false but when it comes to reading allegro or something like that i don't know or i just don't know and um

What do you think about how complicated drugs are in our current society as we've discussed and how you could even look at our entire published record about drugs and so much of it would have additional complexity that wouldn't even be evident to some people? one a thousand years from now, maybe, right?

Would they know that there are additional layers to fentanyl as a tool of propaganda or would they just look at the superficial take on this that fentanyl was a problem? Would they understand all of the legal pharmacological complexity involved in all of this? Maybe not.
