"We're all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled the sixties. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary's trip. He crashed around America selling consciousness expansion, without ever giving thought to the grim meathook realities that were lying in wait for all those people who took him seriouslly. All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy peace and understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss, and failure is ours too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole lifestyle that he helped create. A generation of permanent criples, failed seekers, who never understood the mystic fallacy of the acid culture. The desperate assumption that somebody or at least some force, is tending the light at the end of the tunnel."
