    What a way to depart Aldous tripping all the way to the light at the end of the tunnel. I bet it was a fun ride I havent touched LSD since 1981 and now I want some.

    When he wrote BNW, he didn’t know about mind expanding drugs. He discovered them later. Soma was a mind controlling drug, used by those in power to make people accept their situation. Huxley developed a new attitude toward drugs when he discovered psychedelics. But he never changed his negative view of soma-like drugs, even though he never saw the latest generation of them (the “antidepressants” and “atypical antipsychotics”).

    it seems very much like linda’s death in brave new world except of course that linda choked instead of fading, begs the question as to whether huxley considered lsd to be the drug most like his soma or not

    This guy is almost like Albert Hoffmann. Albert Hoffmann was a great man. LSD and mescaline are live changing drugs.

    It would be the craziest shit ever to go out of existence while tripping balls. Aldous Huxley is a fucking champ.

    Search Google Video for this movie…
    “The Pharmacratic Inquisition”
    Offers evidence that Phychedelic Plants, Shamanism, Sex Worship/Fertility and Astrology/Astronomy are at the root of all religions including Christianity. The movie focuses primarily on the Amanita Muscaria and shows how it is actually the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, the apple. Very important information to share.

    Nothing. He died of cancer.

    Lastly, lets take a wild swing and guess that lovinsjoey is a theist. This is simply more kindling.

  13. INSANEPOOKIE Says:

    Please read Brave New World before you attempt to conceive any form of moral idealism conveyed by the book and Aldous Huxley. Once again you shine all that the average human has to be shameful of when compared to people with even the remotest inkling of wisdom and insight. Perhaps overall it is not a horrid thing to be like minded to the majority of the mob of humanity; but to me it is.
    Huxley died from cancer. It is “drugs” that very well could have saved him or prolonged his life on earth.

  14. INSANEPOOKIE Says:

    Lovinsjoey is a perfect example of ones who lacks the ability to understand the simplest of expressions and inference that an intellect has to offer humans and our society. It’s fairly sad that he is without a doubt the average american and to be even more veracious, the preponderance of our species.

  15. yoism3 Says:

    What was “tragically ironic” about his death?

  16. lovinsjoey Says:

    Brave New World tells us the abuse of drugs like this is more dangerous than they can ever prove useful. We must learn from Huxley’s tragically ironic death and not take his brilliant work as an excuse for irresponsibility.
