146-McKenna: "The Importance of Human Beings"
In this lecture (originally titled "Eros to Eschaton") Terence McKenna says, "If in fact the conservation and complexification of novelty is what the universe is striving for, then suddenly our own human enterprise, previously marginalized, takes on an immense new importance." And from that foundation he goes on to claim that we humans "are the main event".

This is a talk given by Dr. Timothy Leary sometime late in 1991 or in 1992 at The Inside Edge in Orange County, California. Among the challenging ideas Dr. Leary presented was his thought that: "As soon as you belong to a system where you're not known individually, and where you don't know, individually, the other people, you are by definition depersonalizing yourself, a robot cog of the Big Machine."
