Albert Hofmann, creator of LSD, dies at 102.
Jim Fixx died at 52. Draw your own conclusions.
From Hofmann's "LSD -- My Problem Child": Of greatest significance to me has been the insight that I attained as a fundamental understanding from all of my LSD experiments: what one commonly takes as "the reality," including the reality of one's own individual person, by no means signifies something fixed, but rather something that is ambiguous—that there is not only one, but that there are many realities, each comprising also a different consciousness of the ego.
Nick Carr: "Might I just point out here that both LSD and the Web were invented in Switzerland?"
Damn.
