Video: Why Terrence McKenna Rejected Nietzsche For Alchemy - Paul Ferguson - 08-12-2025

"In this rare lecture, Terence McKenna rejects Nietzsche’s Superman ideal, showing how mis-copied memes can corrupt philosophy — and revealing an alchemical process of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful to redeem humanity’s future. Drawing on psychedelic philosophy, the Platonic triad, and the artist as an antenna to the transcendental, McKenna offers a Jungian-inspired vision of collective transmutation — turning the raw materials of history into the philosopher’s stone of a renewed soul."
