Neuropolitique
Timothy Leary, Ph.D. has been a world-renowned psychologist, a  defrocked Harvard professor, a relentless champion of brain change, a  reputed drug guru, a stand-up philosopher, and a prisoner of the Nixon  administration. He has been called 'the most dangerous man on the  planet.'While in prison, at times in solitary confinement, he wrote the first  version of this book. ("I must confess that at that time I was alienated,  a bit daft and given to occasional fits of irritation. So color the first  version of this book indigo--as in Jail House Blues.") Now revised and  updated,Neuropolitiquepresents some of Dr. Leary’s best ideas,  his reflections on the past and his hope for the future.From the Introduction:"...the performing philosopher does not come down the mountain with truths  carved in stone. He/she comes to bat several times a day, trying to whack  out a conceptual hit. In baseball, a batter who gets one hit out of three  will usually lead the league. A thought-inventor is voted into the Hall of  Fame or wins the coveted MVP (Most Valuable Philosopher) award on the basis  of batting average over the years. In this book, for example, one-third of  the ideas are kinda silly, one-third are kinda boring. But one-third are  home runs. When they enter your brains they can impregnate, fuse with your  other thoughts and create software for programming your life."
