Quote context

[...]

- There you stood on the edge of your feather expecting to fly.

- We're all wired into a survival trip now.

- No more of the speed that fueled the '60s.

- That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary's trip.

- He crashed around America, selling consciousness expansion without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all those people who took him seriously.

- 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 cripples, failed seekers who never understood the essential old-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.
