O Terence McKenna και το Time Wave Zero, μια περίληψη.

O Terence McKenna  που πέθανε τον Απρίλιο του 2000 ήταν ένας επαγγελματίας ερευνητής των μανιταριών, ανάμεσα σε άλλα ενδιαφέροντα του. Στην μακρά πορεία του είχε μια οραματική εμπειρία και έγραψε ένα εκπληκτικό λογισμικό που ονόμασε Timewave Zero.

Το πρωτοδιάβασα στο βιβλίο του The Archaic Revival: Speculations on Psychedelic Mushrooms, the Amazon, Virtual Reality, UFO’s, Evolution, Shamanism, the Rebirth of the Goddess, and the End of History. Ενδιαφέρον, αλλά όταν έχεις καταναλώσει τόσα μανιτάρια όσα ο Terence … Όπως και να έχει η επίσημη εισαγωγή στο αρχικό πρόγραμμα από την Dolphin Software (από τον  Peter Meyer)  το περιγράφει καλύτερα:

This software illustrates Terence McKenna’s theory of time, history and the end of history as first described in the book The Invisible Landscape by him and his brother Dennis, and more recently in his The Archaic Revival (HarperSanFrancisco, 1992). The theory of Timewave Zero was revealed to Terence by an alien intelligence following a bizarre, quasi-psychedelic experiment conducted in the Amazon jungle in Colombia in 1971. Inspired by this influence Terence was instructed in certain transformation of numbers derived from the King Wen sequence of I Ching hexagrams. This led eventually to a rigorous mathematical description of what Terence calls the timewave, which correlates time and history with the ebb and flow of novelty, which is intrinsic to the structure of time and hence of the temporal universe. A peculiarity of this correlation is that at a certain point a singularity is reached which is the end of history – or at least is a transition to a suprahistorical order in which our ordinary conceptions of our world will be radically transformed. The best current estimate for the date of this point is December 21, 2012 CE [common era], the winter solstice of that year and also the end of the current era in the Mayan calendar.
