Thank you! I pared this down as much as I could and still came up over 2000 words, which is normally my upper limit for posts. A lot to work in, and I could have gone on for thousands of more words. Glad you plowed through to the end!
You've brought a few important and intriguing sociological, pharmacological and technological themes together here, Geoff, in a way that really made me think. I am blown away by the predictions of Lilly and Dick and really pleased with McKenna's thought that the future may not be completely bleak.
As far as Lily's Earth Coincidence Control Organization goes, I don't think I am alone in marveling at how many coincidences seem to be generated by my personal tech. I can be thinking about something altogether novel, not mention it to anybody (be it an idea, an image, a location or person) and it will show up almost immediately on the internet. I am not searching for it. It just pops up.
It happens so frequently now, it can be a bit unsettling. I really hope it IS ECCO, if there is such a thing, and not the shadowy Solid State controllers. Again...if that is in any way real.
Thank you for this wonderful series of articles. I look forward to more!
