Mitchell Rabin Interviews Ethno-Botanist, Penseur-Extraordinaire Terence McKenna

In this interview, Terence tells Mitchell about his theory of novelty he explores in his software program which is a confluence of The I Ching and other fractal combinations he has happed upon in his variety of cutting-edge and ancient wisdom explorations.

He was an American ethnobotanist and mystic who advocated for the responsible use of naturally occurring psychedelic plants. He spoke and wrote about a variety of subjects, including psychedelic drugs, plant-based entheogens, shamanism, metaphysics, alchemy, language, philosophy, culture, technology, environmentalism, and the theoretical origins of human consciousness. He was called the "Timothy Leary of the '90s".

Terence passed on April 3, 2000 so this was possibly one of the very last interviews conducted on video. He was considered "one of the leading authorities on the ontological foundations of shamanism" and the "intellectual voice of rave culture".
