Cultural Thinkers When I'm Stoned

I love to get stoned and listen to cultural or spiritual thinkers. Everything they say makes a lot of sense to me when I'm high. Anyone else like to do this? I post this both to generate discussion, and to give some recommendations to anyone who likes cerebral stoning activities!

A few faves of mine:

(1) Ram Dass: anything by Ram Dass resonates so beautifully when I'm baked. Currently I'm reading "Grist for the Mill" which is great. For watching/listening check out some of these:

^One of my absolute favorite videos anywhere on YouTube. So insightful.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_skjT_uOzyo"]Thinking Allowed: Ram Dass -- Ram Dass on Compassion, with a very sympathetic interviewer.

(2) Joseph Campbell: I torrented the audio lectures "Mythology and the Individual" and I've been enjoying those when I get stony.
For just a small sampling of his stuff check this out:

(3) Noam Chomsky: politics and culture, possibly the greatest liberal thinker alive.

(4) Karen Armstrong: I like listening to the Audiobook "A History of God" when I'm stoned sometimes.

(5) Terence McKenna: Need I say anything about this guy?

Is there anybody else who enjoys this kind of stuff when they get stony?

 

Perhaps it is because of my perpetual highness that these are the only types of conversations I really enjoy, interspersed with humor of course.

 

Any favorites to contribute, dope?

i used to read a whole load of freud, lacan and laura mulvey, theodor Adorno, andre bazin, a bit of marx and engels and applied it to film and art analysis, really wanted to be an academic film critic

 

Listening to Joseph Campbell "The Individual in Oriental Society," baked as hell. It's a good thing.

--He was talking about Jung and Freud earlier.

 

thanks for posting this! i never thought to watch them but I'm always reading this kind of stuff when stoned.

 

I find myself almost always listening to Mckenna when i'm stoned. One of the greatest minds this world has ever seen.

 

Add these guys to my list:

i'm a big chomsky fan

 

Currently listening to the audiobook of Chomsky's "Hegemony or Survival." A bowl of this blueberry kush goes perfectly w/ my man Noam.

 

i prefer to read that kinda shit, i can get overwhelmed by big ideas and its better to go at my own pace... even if i can pause and rewind the dude.
plus it seems to sink in a little better if i read it. edge.org is a pretty cool site of really out-there interviews
