Terence McKenna’s Remarkable 1998 Talk About Time Acceleration Told Through Whiteboard Animation
A brilliantly illustrated episode of After Skool features a talk given by author, botanist and psychedelic drug advocate Terence McKenna in 1998, during which he spoke about the acceleration of time. McKenna had formulated his own sense of time through fractals and the I Ching, topics included in his remarkable speech. Towards the end of the speech, the animation moves away from the whiteboard, with topically evocative images created by Lubomir Arsov.
