About this listen

In Terrance McKenna's captivating lecture, listen as he delves into his theory of the universe as an engine geared towards generating and preserving novelty, with an escalation in novelty corresponding to an increase in complexity. Drawing from the Chinese divination text, the I-Ching, which he views as a tool rather than the focal point, McKenna elaborates on the concept of the time wave. Time, he proposes, manifests as a colossal wave, gathering density and intensity until its culmination, fueled by novelty in various forms such as information, incidents, and events.

Throughout history, this wave of novelty has propelled progress and evolution, with each novelty birthing further innovations in a fractal-like manner. McKenna observes an exponential acceleration in novelty in recent times, with the pace of change surpassing anything witnessed in previous eras. The rapid advancements in technology and discovery over the past century exemplify this phenomenon, leaving humanity pondering the trajectory of the future.

McKenna's thought-provoking ideas challenge conventional notions of time and evolution, prompting speculation on the ultimate culmination of the time wave's journey. Regardless of one's agreement or disagreement with his theories, McKenna's discourse captivates with its depth, originality, and provocative insights into the nature of existence and progress.
