He got uncomfortable because he knew the real truth but didn't want it imposed toward him because he was personally a promoter of LSD, this would reveal he was really a bad irresponsible guy. The promotion of LSD was connected to his published books so he didn't want to ruin or stumble that promotion. He was a self serving apathetic opportunistic conman
The host forcibly detained leary so that linkletter could unleash on him, then the host rubs it in as much as he can the last remaining minutes. quality programming.
Hallucinogens amplify what is in the user. So if she committed suicide then she was facing her demons- not the hallucinogen demons but the demons of her past- to which as Timothy accurately points out- was her father and her problems with her father. Truth is- she probably jumped because of her relationship or non relationship with her career driven father who never spent that much time with her- and when he did he was over bearing and closed minded blaming everyone around him for everything but himself. Hallucinogens reveal who you are to yourself. And you can hear what a hateful and murderous man Art Linklater was. He wishes death on others. So Timothy was correct when he said twice that he was "ghoulish." Art was in fact the problem. He just wouldn't admit it because of hubris, ego and hatred. Ironically the CIA pushed acid. And Art worked in government. Again ironic.
This is pathetic trash journalism. This Art Linkletter character is looking to shift the blame from himself to an easy target, and cleaning up in the process. What sick person makes the death of a loved one a political issue?
What about the suicides caused by war? Psychedelics are tools to be used and appreciated. Tim was a mixed bag but he was overall an amazing actualized person.
timothy was very humorous. when he said "i was making love to my wife when the police came through the window" i cracked up! lol just picture that scene ROFL
Pre-existing notion or intent. A guide becomes invaluable to the one with little or no experience. Guide or savior. You decide! Epic Rap Battles of Lysteriene!
Leary is truly ahead of his time. Art says his daughter was "bewildered." Wow, maybe she actually came to grips with her situation, had some truthful, insightful realizations for once in her life. If only she had some guidance, someone understanding who would be willing to help and change, like her own father. I think this is why Timothy calls Art a hypocrite, because Linkletter goes on about being there for your kids, yet was an asshole to his own children. He blames LSD for his daughters suicide when in reality the one who should be bearing more responsibility is the FATHER for not being there, which is what it sounds like. Maybe this poor woman realized something about her dad and felt so much desperation she couldn't cope, or was for some reason unable to get help. That is a tragedy indeed. And then the hypocrite father tries to tell others how to parent when his daughter killed herself at his hands. Sickening.
That or not answered at all and kept quiet...you be surprise how many people get uncomfortable with silence which shows how unsure they are of themselves and existence

@@gablarson3031 why was leary there in the 1st place? He talked too much say his peers. He started out good but ended up being a "party on dude" and not a good representative of the benefits of LSD. He ended up w an extensive cocaine habit and taking any drugs available. Toward his later years he was a mess. Many years in and out of prison which much of that could have been avoided but he didnt stop long enough to hear what was in the wind. He didnt heed his own knowledge. Eh, he was no ram dass thats for sure
what was the fathers rile on the daughters suicide, I'm sure he had a bigger influence in his daughters death than Dr.Leary,he is getting fame from the tradegy,sicking...
Obviously what happened to that girl was that she took this very awakening, intense psychedelic and her eyes were opened to the horrors of the world today. Horrors she wouldn't other have been able to comprehend. The poor girl probably couldn't cope and followed the only path seemingly left open to her.
Jake Berg or the reality of her dad being an overbearing constant manipulating force on her life for what seemed like eternity compared to the profound awakening that she experienced? Acid only opens up your mind to a perception that didn't exist before you opened the door.
I found personally that after tripping I became prone to extreme alienation from the systematic world, and that remains even when I don't use the drugs. But I don't hate the ideas and experiences that came to me during my trips, because they have given new meaning to attempting to overcome abusive systems, and a focus on cultivating my imagination as though it were another sense or power, which was withering under cultism and totalism previous. It was Psilocybin and LSD that showed me hope after becoming depressed at the prospect that after living my whole life a believing Christian, there might be no afterlife or any meaning to be found anywhere except in make believe. They showed me that make believe is as real as this, dreams are as effecting on this world as this world is effecting our imaginations. And there a plenty of closed-minded conservatives and media tools that point the finger at the drugs for the suicide ... All of my hundreds of mental suicide notes (some written before, some after first taking psychedelics) have been about the nature of free will, society, and the abuse of cults like the Mormon and Catholic Churches, the manipulation of kids by corporate powers through marketing, the sedation and control of personal imaginative experience by prohibition of self-medication or pharmaceutical monopolization via legislation. None of them have ever said, "I freaked out on acid, so I want to die." Although I have considered my last lines to be recommendations to my loved ones to be careful but to responsibly consider the mystical beyond their current comfort zone, and consider taking psychedelics at least once. But maybe everyone like me will just eventually burn out, and it just hasn't hit me yet. I feel burnt out on life, we've got 40 hour fucking work weeks if we want to have shelter, food, and the fuels and electricity and water to live as expected by the powers that be.
Art supported the Vietnam war and hated the protesters. THAT was what caused his daughter to become bewildered and depressed and that's why Art wound up in the Nixon white house. You hate Tim Leary Nixon would give you the keys to the mansion. That's how G Gordon Liddy got in too. Leary always said LSD isn't for everybody AND that you need training and a guide. He clearly told the US Senate that LSD could indeed be described as dangerous but then so can cars and airplanes yet we allow people to use them when they have been trained. Art wanted to believe Leary was advocating putting it in the water supply because he didn't want to face up to having anything to do with her death himself. It was convenient for Art to blame Tim because he needed a scape goat.
Unbelievable. He gave him no chance to respond and was just forcing his views down Leary's throat without any concern for what he thought. To go this to try exposing him and not even interviewing him should not be tolerated. This journalist should not be paid to act so unprofessional.
I was looking for audio of Timothy Leary. Was this ambush by a very scripted and prepared Art Linkletter, choreographed by some third rate TV show host, suppose to shame Timothy Leary or make him look bad? I've never listened to Leary or given any credence to "drug culture,'" but this inept approach is so typical of modern "media" tactics." The only person coming out of this exchange with my sympathies is Leary. That notting person interviewing him isn't worthy of my thoughts, but Linkletter, whom I always believed to be a hussle, lost any of my respect. His spiced up accusations against everyone else for his daughter's suicide makes me, like Leary, wonder at his own role. And yes, Leary was right, Linkletter was ghoulish to take this gig and use his daughter for public acclaim. Yep, even as a Christian man, I have to say that the aging, reprobate Leary came out head and shoulders above these other two clowns.
Ac1DGoD If by flashback, you mean a sudden recollection of experience, sure. If you mean you experienced LSD entering your body again without any further intake, you are either a liar or experienced a situation which you misguidedly attributed to LSD. I think that's what he meant by 'insane'.
Things have moved forward somewhat since this clip (legal recreational use of marijuana in both the states of Washington and Colorado) but the Christian right wing attitudes still unfortunately pollute the political arena. Back in the sixties and seventies many people I know took LSD and not a single one ever experienced a flashback of any kind. I wish Leary had commented more on Art Linkletter using his LSD theory as a likely cover up for his own possible guilt of being an absentee father whose poor parenting might have been much more of a contributing factor to her mental state than any association with mind altering drugs. In 1969 singer/songwriter Bobby Darin wrote the song "Baby May" about Linkletter's suicide. Darin said he felt that Art Linkletter could have assumed more responsibility in his daughter's death. Furthermore the last person present at Diane Linkletter's questionable suicide was the same man (Ed Durston) who was with actress Carol Wayne the night she suspiciously died. Seems to be a lot more going on concerning her death than a flare up of her prior LSD use).
More likely than not, you are simply forming a strong delusion that it is working. Get yourself medically tested and get it published in a medical journal or don't expect anyone to take you seriously.
I can relate to Ac1DGod's remarks. I was once experiencing non drug related out of body experiences. My body was frozen, I couldn't speak but I was able to travel around my surroundings "out of body". All thoughts remembered during this period were still present when I returned to my normal state of being. What I have in common with Ac1DGod is that after my first experience I was able to train my body (more so my mind) to recreate the moment. And it all dealt with a low ohm vibration in my ears just as I was entering one of the first dream levels. I remember saying to myself, "Woah, here I go again" and within moments I was once again out of my body. I went to see a doctor since I did think it strange but his answer was, "Chance, there are gurus in India who spend their lifetimes trying to achieve this state. Just relax and enjoy it." So I wouldn't dog AC1DGod. He's only relating his personal experiences as I just have. And that's exactly what they are....personal.
Lsd is an extremely mind opening drug, but also very powerful and potentially dangerous. You have to really consider set and setting and dose before using lsd. If you take a moderate dose in a SAFE setting, with a true friend, youll almost certainly be fine. From experience
exactly. you cant count how many drunk people commit suicide or take someone elses life in a drunken rage. Not to say alcohol should be made illegal but it just shows the complete hypocrisy in our society
Hotels in Ibiza and popular holiday destinations alike regularly have alcohol related events where people fall off the balcony or jump off because they think they're superman, it happens countless times. Man, why are people so brainwashed by the media!?!?? I'm so glad I've taken LSD I know I can't be conditioned into the same cultural narrative or any new ones again thanks to meditation as well. Advertising can't touch me either all dillusions are dissolved!
This was a hostile interview. A interviewer should be neutral. That guy wanted to be friendly to the acuser because he went to school with his son. I would have walked away from that place and, let the guy with his mic holding it like the dick he was. And, Im not talking about the subject at hand but the way it was conducted. That place must have been permeated all over with organic fertilizer.
Leary lectured to my engineering college. He was brilliant. He said that we future engineers, inventors, and scientists should do more that turn out assembly line products. We should think about how to make the world live together, not better ways to blow it apart. I doubt any of us really changed after his talk, but I know some of us discussed what he said. We all wanted to do what he said: make cool stuff to enjoy life. I wanted to work on space exploration... and I did. I think he would have liked my goal. Even today, I think humanity will benefit from space exploration. I never tried LSD, even though it was easily available. I wonder if I would see things differently now.
That's a myth about LSD. Ask yourself, how many suicides happen each year? How many of them never even had a drug experience? Even if there were a couple who jumped out of windows induced by drugs, how many did crash and die and kill others will drunk on alcohol? And if you have ever been to a hippie or psychedelic festival or concert or club, you will notice that those are the most peaceful and loving places on earth. So yes, drugs are illegal because you get disillusioned from the way the government/economy wants you to think and that can give you stress or create problems, because you and me we are slaves to a higher system. We aren't free.
One, exactly one...A CIA agent that was mickey-eid with acid in the 50's...He jumped days AFTER the fact, maybe weeks. This information is online, if you dig hard enough...
LSD can be dangerous. I've seen it have extreme dangerous effects on people. I've tripped over 300 times and never had a bad trip. However, Ive been around people that freaked out so hard, they had to be taken to the mental ward. They came out of it and were normal, but the way they were jumping around and screaming incoherently , I could see how it could be very dangerous. However, it can also be a very wonderful learning tool. It's basically like religion. You have religion that can make you a wonderful person and you have religion that can make you a dangerous, radical fruitcake.
I like how at 3:52 even the host who clearly despises Leary and was threatening to kick him off seconds earlier felt sorry for him a little bit after that absolutely brutal blow from Art. I like that Leary just acted like he was fascinated by his reaction rather then to get mad. And just so you guys don't think I'm insane, I am the biggest supporter of LSD on the planet... but even I can admit that psychedelic drugs and probably LSD defienently have the power to seriously change your personality over a lifetime of use. I mean its almost frightening seeing how much Leary's personality and demeanor have changed from his first recorded interviews to this. I still will NEVER admit that LSD can make people insane or lose their minds permanently but it sure as hell will bring out the anti-social and paranoid tendencies in your personality until you withdraw from society (mainly social interaction) and think everyone is out to get you/setting you up. I mean Leary thinks within the first 20 seconds of the interview that its a sting or something and he is under arrest, can't sit still, fails to display normal emotions for the subject matter talked about, has no sense of what is too offensive to say, and just looks like he is about to have a mental breakdown at any second. As a previous heavy LSD user, seeing him in this condition has greatly inspired me to cut down drastically on my intake from multiple trips a week (yeah I know I used to be stupid as shit) to maybe 2 or 3 a year if that. I still fucking love psychedelics and will never give them up but they are something that HAS to be done in moderation. Taking them all the time makes them lose their magic and wonder and starts to change your personality until you are literally afraid to leave your room and interact with other people. I mean I only took it for 5 years or so and I have extreme HPPD (whenever I close my eyes or focus on a single spot on a wall for example I have extreme vision distortion and wavering, as well as moments where it literally feels like I just dropped a hit for 2 or 3 minutes which experienced users commonly refer to as a "Flashback") and I am a much more paranoid person that I ever used to be. Just an example, even though I am never doing anything illegal anymore and share a driveway with my neighbors so traffic is common, I still freak out and run to the window every time I hear a car coming up my driveway in fear that it is the police/FBI/people I wronged in the past who are coming to get me. Sorry to rant... I got really carried away there. Moral or the story: Psychedelics are terrifyingly powerful substances that are great in moderation but if used constantly will alter your personality for the worst.
tankmaster1018 and sorry for commenting twice but can anyone say "Most Biased Interview in TV History?" I mean good fucking god... I hadn't finished watching the clip when I wrote that first comment...
+tankmaster1018 Man that sounds pretty terrible man. I've always tried to be careful with psychedelics, cause I have found when I used them excessively, for me that was every 2 weeks or so, it really effected my life negatively. Now I space them out to every few months, and it is fine. I've view Timothy Leary though as psychedelics worst enemy in a way. Without him LSD wouldn't have had the recreational use it did in the 60's which cause it and psychedelics in general to be demonized by the government and public. But damn dude I can't imagine tripping 2-3 times a week, not judging. Why do you think you were doing that? Has tripping less helped elevate your symptoms? Are you still able to life a functioning life? Wish you the best.
Tim Leary is genius very missunderstood ahead of his time. He is not in anyway shape or form a threat infact his ideas are amazing. People are just too busy worrying about other people. Lsd is amazing it's a life changing spiritual experience. Dmt even better!
It's more important *now* than *EVER*, for kids to know it's possible to *DROP OUT*! (I ran into an old high-school friend of mine, a few months back. He told me he was a teacher now, and on my question about _kids of today_, he said: _"Well, they aren't like we were; There aren't any_characters_ anymore, like you used to be one of."_ and when I asked what he meant he said: _"You know, they just don't wanna stand-out, challenging the norm, so to speak, like there always were a few of them in school in our time"_ I found that quite alarming. Are they really that trained and tamed now-a-days?
Thanks William, but if you look at my picture, and then look at the image of the interviewer, you can see we're not the same person... unless you are so freak'n high on LSD you can't tell the difference... LOL
I was born in the fifties , every time I saw timothy leary, while growing up. He always looked space out, even back then it didn't take a rocket scientist to know acid would screw up your mind.
cogen651 I know people who did not use drugs and who rape, and kill, and torture so many lives. How do you live with that ignorance of your? Acid cannot be the only excuse why you didn't get a grip on life itself... so the absence of it cannot explain why such ignorance like yours should be tolerated. If acid could make you think better would you promote it? Or would you be too scared caused "you saw" friends... I think you failed at life BIG TIMES. Think for yourself, don't imagine how would it feel to be intelligent...
cogen651 You're FOS. Such a sweeping generalization is pure poppycock. Not everyone who took LSD was Charles Manson. Dr. Leary has a good chapter about Charles Manson in Neuropolitique. He offers that Manson was a byproduct of the US Military and prison systems. Leary was a good psychologist. He is credited for developing the Stanford Binet intelligence test and no doubt had a better idea of the intelligence quotient of his opponents than they do.
Quote by Hunter S. Thompson...We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled that 60's. 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 the 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 life-style 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.
It's really interesting how suddenly everything Leary says in this interview stops being "naive, idiotic, delusional, dangerous, etc." when you know the truth.
awesome interview! more stanley siegel shows please! i remember his show from the 70s. very smart and funny guy stanley was. for the life of me i don't know why his tv career didn't progress.
This is so weird I don't even know what to think. A set up? A staging based on an agreement from all parts? It's hard to believe Timothy was caught by surprise. He didn't have to sit there while being called an idiot. I think there's something more to it. I have taken LSD many times, I'm not totally against Tim, but nowadays I have certain reservations. On the other side, if this is not staged, what these guys did to Leary here is pretty disgusting. Also Timothy was pretty out of it. He didn't show his sharp side here. He looked just like a slow, brain damaged, dysfunctional pothead. I was on that frame of mind once, when I was a pothead. I could think but I could not externalize in the right timing. That's what I see here with Tim. He's trying hard to keep his cool but the host owns him.
plz help im looking for a tv show appearance he did it was removed from youtube and the net its not documented on wiki imdb etc its hilarious the host gets angry and starts yelling at tim and he laughs his azz off and says carm down carm down and the audience piss themselves laughing does any1 know of it?? thx
My favorite interview. Understand each side and you have a good start on understanding why people are where people are in the world right now. Anyway, shut him up. We have a lot invested in this ride....
Thank you for your comments. I found it to be useful testimony, giving further credence to what I see as the probable case regarding Leery. If you have any more detailed information to specifically diagnose Leery as psychotic, I would be interested to hear it. Either way, thanks.
Thank you, Jefferson Airplane for creating good music and bringing intelligent, thought provoking lyrics to pop music. "Chaos or community! can't you see on this and future Sundays!"
Love this man. And yes, he's an intellectual leader. It's about being peaceful and loving. I would have thrown myself out the window too with a father like Art Linkletter.

Assign the blame first, fix the problem much much later on.
There is no cure for life.
"I'm not sandbagging you," he says, while physically restraining him from leaving. I'd love to see what his idea of sandbagging would be.

Hallucinogens amplify what is in the user.
So if she committed suicide then she was facing her demons- not the hallucinogen demons but the demons of her past- to which as Timothy accurately points out- was her father and her problems with her father.
Truth is- she probably jumped because of her relationship or non relationship with her career driven father who never spent that much time with her- and when he did he was over bearing and closed minded blaming everyone around him for everything but himself.
Hallucinogens reveal who you are to yourself.
And you can hear what a hateful and murderous man Art Linklater was. He wishes death on others. So Timothy was correct when he said twice that he was "ghoulish." Art was in fact the problem. He just wouldn't admit it because of hubris, ego and hatred.
Ironically the CIA pushed acid. And Art worked in government. Again ironic.

I think this is why Timothy calls Art a hypocrite, because Linkletter goes on about being there for your kids, yet was an asshole to his own children. He blames LSD for his daughters suicide when in reality the one who should be bearing more responsibility is the FATHER for not being there, which is what it sounds like. Maybe this poor woman realized something about her dad and felt so much desperation she couldn't cope, or was for some reason unable to get help. That is a tragedy indeed.

@@gablarson3031 why was leary there in the 1st place? He talked too much say his peers. He started out good but ended up being a "party on dude" and not a good representative of the benefits of LSD. He ended up w an extensive cocaine habit and taking any drugs available. Toward his later years he was a mess. Many years in and out of prison which much of that could have been avoided but he didnt stop long enough to hear what was in the wind. He didnt heed his own knowledge. Eh, he was no ram dass thats for sure
@@gablarson3031 lol
@@lastnamefirst4035 i totally agree! He made Lsd look bad while trying to show its good!!!
what was the fathers rile on the daughters suicide, I'm sure he had a bigger influence in his daughters death than Dr.Leary,he is getting fame from the tradegy,sicking...
I agree, both sicking and ghoulish, but I'm pretty sure he already had fame.
Great observation Rich. What point are you tying to make..?
Timothy Leary forever, I am 22 years old from Puerto Rico who still carry this great man love and knowledge timothy is a guru, intellectual, a legend
Obviously what happened to that girl was that she took this very awakening, intense psychedelic and her eyes were opened to the horrors of the world today. Horrors she wouldn't other have been able to comprehend. The poor girl probably couldn't cope and followed the only path seemingly left open to her.
Jake Berg or the reality of her dad being an overbearing constant manipulating force on her life for what seemed like eternity compared to the profound awakening that she experienced?
Acid only opens up your mind to a perception that didn't exist before you opened the door.
Agreed. We're saying the same thing I just generalized.
I found personally that after tripping I became prone to extreme alienation from the systematic world, and that remains even when I don't use the drugs.
But I don't hate the ideas and experiences that came to me during my trips, because they have given new meaning to attempting to overcome abusive systems, and a focus on cultivating my imagination as though it were another sense or power, which was withering under cultism and totalism previous.
It was Psilocybin and LSD that showed me hope after becoming depressed at the prospect that after living my whole life a believing Christian, there might be no afterlife or any meaning to be found anywhere except in make believe. They showed me that make believe is as real as this, dreams are as effecting on this world as this world is effecting our imaginations.
And there a plenty of closed-minded conservatives and media tools that point the finger at the drugs for the suicide ... All of my hundreds of mental suicide notes (some written before, some after first taking psychedelics) have been about the nature of free will, society, and the abuse of cults like the Mormon and Catholic Churches, the manipulation of kids by corporate powers through marketing, the sedation and control of personal imaginative experience by prohibition of self-medication or pharmaceutical monopolization via legislation.
None of them have ever said, "I freaked out on acid, so I want to die." Although I have considered my last lines to be recommendations to my loved ones to be careful but to responsibly consider the mystical beyond their current comfort zone, and consider taking psychedelics at least once.
But maybe everyone like me will just eventually burn out, and it just hasn't hit me yet.
I feel burnt out on life, we've got 40 hour fucking work weeks if we want to have shelter, food, and the fuels and electricity and water to live as expected by the powers that be.
If you feel that life is horrible you haven't found the truth.
what is the truth?
the last time i took LSD i thought the door was ajar...
deFetus Attitude How can a door be a jar?
RIP best comic ever
despicable host
"Go back to Iran!" GREAT!!!
Art supported the Vietnam war and hated the protesters. THAT was what caused his daughter to become bewildered and depressed and that's why Art wound up in the Nixon white house. You hate Tim Leary Nixon would give you the keys to the mansion. That's how G Gordon Liddy got in too. Leary always said LSD isn't for everybody AND that you need training and a guide. He clearly told the US Senate that LSD could indeed be described as dangerous but then so can cars and airplanes yet we allow people to use them when they have been trained. Art wanted to believe Leary was advocating putting it in the water supply because he didn't want to face up to having anything to do with her death himself. It was convenient for Art to blame Tim because he needed a scape goat.
"Ghoulish."
Such a G.
Unbelievable. He gave him no chance to respond and was just forcing his views down Leary's throat without any concern for what he thought. To go this to try exposing him and not even interviewing him should not be tolerated. This journalist should not be paid to act so unprofessional.
We need another Leary!
I was looking for audio of Timothy Leary. Was this ambush by a very scripted and prepared Art Linkletter, choreographed by some third rate TV show host, suppose to shame Timothy Leary or make him look bad? I've never listened to Leary or given any credence to "drug culture,'" but this inept approach is so typical of modern "media" tactics." The only person coming out of this exchange with my sympathies is Leary. That notting person interviewing him isn't worthy of my thoughts, but Linkletter, whom I always believed to be a hussle, lost any of my respect. His spiced up accusations against everyone else for his daughter's suicide makes me, like Leary, wonder at his own role. And yes, Leary was right, Linkletter was ghoulish to take this gig and use his daughter for public acclaim. Yep, even as a Christian man, I have to say that the aging, reprobate Leary came out head and shoulders above these other two clowns.
The future thanks you Timothy
LSD is pure medicine!!! So happy it's making a strong comeback.
Lsd is beautiful. The sacrament of those who seek freedom, individuality, and outstanding life.

Flashbacks are a myth.
Ac1DGoD No you haven't look at you, you are just fucking insane.
Ac1DGoD If by flashback, you mean a sudden recollection of experience, sure. If you mean you experienced LSD entering your body again without any further intake, you are either a liar or experienced a situation which you misguidedly attributed to LSD. I think that's what he meant by 'insane'.
Things have moved forward somewhat since this clip (legal recreational use of marijuana in both the states of Washington and Colorado) but the Christian right wing attitudes still unfortunately pollute the political arena. Back in the sixties and seventies many people I know took LSD and not a single one ever experienced a flashback of any kind. I wish Leary had commented more on Art Linkletter using his LSD theory as a likely cover up for his own possible guilt of being an absentee father whose poor parenting might have been much more of a contributing factor to her mental state than any association with mind altering drugs. In 1969 singer/songwriter Bobby Darin wrote the song "Baby May" about Linkletter's suicide. Darin said he felt that Art Linkletter could have assumed more responsibility in his daughter's death. Furthermore the last person present at Diane Linkletter's questionable suicide was the same man (Ed Durston) who was with actress Carol Wayne the night she suspiciously died. Seems to be a lot more going on concerning her death than a flare up of her prior LSD use).
More likely than not, you are simply forming a strong delusion that it is working. Get yourself medically tested and get it published in a medical journal or don't expect anyone to take you seriously.
I can relate to Ac1DGod's remarks. I was once experiencing non drug related out of body experiences. My body was frozen, I couldn't speak but I was able to travel around my surroundings "out of body". All thoughts remembered during this period were still present when I returned to my normal state of being. What I have in common with Ac1DGod is that after my first experience I was able to train my body (more so my mind) to recreate the moment. And it all dealt with a low ohm vibration in my ears just as I was entering one of the first dream levels. I remember saying to myself, "Woah, here I go again" and within moments I was once again out of my body. I went to see a doctor since I did think it strange but his answer was, "Chance, there are gurus in India who spend their lifetimes trying to achieve this state. Just relax and enjoy it." So I wouldn't dog AC1DGod. He's only relating his personal experiences as I just have. And that's exactly what they are....personal.
... Tim should have followed his instinct and left. I did.
Lsd is an extremely mind opening drug, but also very powerful and potentially dangerous. You have to really consider set and setting and dose before using lsd. If you take a moderate dose in a SAFE setting, with a true friend, youll almost certainly be fine. From experience
A truly great doctor
"Think for yourself, question authority." - Timothy Leary
Leary did time in prison. He would have benefited by knowing when to keep his mouth shut
I was doing that when I first became conscious of my existence at the age of four. I didn't need TL to teach me that.
is this art linkletter dude the same person who is reading out the names of musicians in the MYLO track destroy rock n roll?
LSD is not bad , society is bad ! Psychedelics are not bad...
True but not everyone should take them
They're neutral forms of energy. Just like the computer or a hammer.
So how many drunk people jump out of windows !?!
exactly. you cant count how many drunk people commit suicide or take someone elses life in a drunken rage. Not to say alcohol should be made illegal but it just shows the complete hypocrisy in our society
Hotels in Ibiza and popular holiday destinations alike regularly have alcohol related events where people fall off the balcony or jump off because they think they're superman, it happens countless times. Man, why are people so brainwashed by the media!?!?? I'm so glad I've taken LSD I know I can't be conditioned into the same cultural narrative or any new ones again thanks to meditation as well. Advertising can't touch me either all dillusions are dissolved!
"Ghoulish!!!" Hahahahaha hilarious.
This always brightens my day however bad it has been. Hahaha "ghouuuulish!"
Mk ultra graduate Timothy Leary
This was a hostile interview. A interviewer should be neutral. That guy wanted to be friendly to the acuser because he went to school with his son. I would have walked away from that place and, let the guy with his mic holding it like the dick he was. And, Im not talking about the subject at hand but the way it was conducted. That place must have been permeated all over with organic fertilizer.
This reminds me a lot of the corporate media today.
Leary lectured to my engineering college. He was brilliant. He said that we future engineers, inventors, and scientists should do more that turn out assembly line products. We should think about how to make the world live together, not better ways to blow it apart.
I doubt any of us really changed after his talk, but I know some of us discussed what he said. We all wanted to do what he said: make cool stuff to enjoy life. I wanted to work on space exploration... and I did. I think he would have liked my goal. Even today, I think humanity will benefit from space exploration.
I never tried LSD, even though it was easily available. I wonder if I would see things differently now.
What percentage of people who take LSD jump out of windows?
That's a myth about LSD. Ask yourself, how many suicides happen each year? How many of them never even had a drug experience? Even if there were a couple who jumped out of windows induced by drugs, how many did crash and die and kill others will drunk on alcohol? And if you have ever been to a hippie or psychedelic festival or concert or club, you will notice that those are the most peaceful and loving places on earth.
So yes, drugs are illegal because you get disillusioned from the way the government/economy wants you to think and that can give you stress or create problems, because you and me we are slaves to a higher system. We aren't free.
One, exactly one...A CIA agent that was mickey-eid with acid in the 50's...He jumped days AFTER the fact, maybe weeks. This information is online, if you dig hard enough...
KingOfKings society doesn't care about public health . LSD shrooms is illegal for other reasons
Just one. He'd have likely jumped out of a window regardless
haha it s a mafia secret...
LSD can be dangerous. I've seen it have extreme dangerous effects on people. I've tripped over 300 times and never had a bad trip. However, Ive been around people that freaked out so hard, they had to be taken to the mental ward. They came out of it and were normal, but the way they were jumping around and screaming incoherently , I could see how it could be very dangerous. However, it can also be a very wonderful learning tool. It's basically like religion. You have religion that can make you a wonderful person and you have religion that can make you a dangerous, radical fruitcake.
yeah but Leary always advocated for guided trips. Not just taking LSD without any assistance
Just remove allthe hard and sharp objects in the room u trip in and pad floor and walls and u will be ok in terms jumping around.
@@PandoraJonesmodel no he didnt. When did you see him and hear his lecture?
@@morgulstower5839 thats a hell of a way to do it. Too many young people these days are taking what they "think" is lsd and then they are "woke"....
He said this in his books.
Good points. It would be fun to put a bigger video together that tells the story the way you just told it.
Great video. Can we get the year this was done??
Thx.
God I love this man.
I like how at 3:52 even the host who clearly despises Leary and was threatening to kick him off seconds earlier felt sorry for him a little bit after that absolutely brutal blow from Art. I like that Leary just acted like he was fascinated by his reaction rather then to get mad. And just so you guys don't think I'm insane, I am the biggest supporter of LSD on the planet... but even I can admit that psychedelic drugs and probably LSD defienently have the power to seriously change your personality over a lifetime of use. I mean its almost frightening seeing how much Leary's personality and demeanor have changed from his first recorded interviews to this. I still will NEVER admit that LSD can make people insane or lose their minds permanently but it sure as hell will bring out the anti-social and paranoid tendencies in your personality until you withdraw from society (mainly social interaction) and think everyone is out to get you/setting you up. I mean Leary thinks within the first 20 seconds of the interview that its a sting or something and he is under arrest, can't sit still, fails to display normal emotions for the subject matter talked about, has no sense of what is too offensive to say, and just looks like he is about to have a mental breakdown at any second. As a previous heavy LSD user, seeing him in this condition has greatly inspired me to cut down drastically on my intake from multiple trips a week (yeah I know I used to be stupid as shit) to maybe 2 or 3 a year if that. I still fucking love psychedelics and will never give them up but they are something that HAS to be done in moderation. Taking them all the time makes them lose their magic and wonder and starts to change your personality until you are literally afraid to leave your room and interact with other people. I mean I only took it for 5 years or so and I have extreme HPPD (whenever I close my eyes or focus on a single spot on a wall for example I have extreme vision distortion and wavering, as well as moments where it literally feels like I just dropped a hit for 2 or 3 minutes which experienced users commonly refer to as a "Flashback") and I am a much more paranoid person that I ever used to be. Just an example, even though I am never doing anything illegal anymore and share a driveway with my neighbors so traffic is common, I still freak out and run to the window every time I hear a car coming up my driveway in fear that it is the police/FBI/people I wronged in the past who are coming to get me. Sorry to rant... I got really carried away there. Moral or the story: Psychedelics are terrifyingly powerful substances that are great in moderation but if used constantly will alter your personality for the worst.
tankmaster1018 and sorry for commenting twice but can anyone say "Most Biased Interview in TV History?" I mean good fucking god... I hadn't finished watching the clip when I wrote that first comment...
+tankmaster1018 Man that sounds pretty terrible man. I've always tried to be careful with psychedelics, cause I have found when I used them excessively, for me that was every 2 weeks or so, it really effected my life negatively. Now I space them out to every few months, and it is fine. I've view Timothy Leary though as psychedelics worst enemy in a way. Without him LSD wouldn't have had the recreational use it did in the 60's which cause it and psychedelics in general to be demonized by the government and public. But damn dude I can't imagine tripping 2-3 times a week, not judging. Why do you think you were doing that? Has tripping less helped elevate your symptoms? Are you still able to life a functioning life? Wish you the best.
What is up with the insane backstage set? is that enough wiring in the background?
3:55 if he can't react in such a calm and respectful manner after hearing death threats from a stranger Leary is the true man here.
Tim Leary is genius very missunderstood ahead of his time. He is not in anyway shape or form a threat infact his ideas are amazing. People are just too busy worrying about other people. Lsd is amazing it's a life changing spiritual experience. Dmt even better!
linkletter is a malicious man....
What year is this interview from??
I have been waiting for these so called "flashbacks" for 20 odd years and not a single one "sigh"
It's more important *now* than *EVER*, for kids to know it's possible to *DROP OUT*!
(I ran into an old high-school friend of mine, a few months back. He told me he was a teacher now, and on my question about _kids of today_, he said: _"Well, they aren't like we were; There aren't any_characters_ anymore, like you used to be one of."_ and when I asked what he meant he said: _"You know, they just don't wanna stand-out, challenging the norm, so to speak, like there always were a few of them in school in our time"_
I found that quite alarming. Are they really that trained and tamed now-a-days?
Haha what a man!
Link letter's response at 5:25 is actually really good.
Thanks William, but if you look at my picture, and then look at the image of the interviewer, you can see we're not the same person... unless you are so freak'n high on LSD you can't tell the difference... LOL
I was born in the fifties , every time I saw timothy leary, while growing up. He always looked space out, even back then it didn't take a rocket scientist to know acid would screw up your mind.
I know people who took it.It will destroy your mind. Do not take it. There's not much more to say.
Whats wrong with being spaced out? probably because hes thinking, some people are wired like that, there normally extremely smart
cogen651
I know people who did not use drugs and who rape, and kill, and torture so many lives. How do you live with that ignorance of your? Acid cannot be the only excuse why you didn't get a grip on life itself... so the absence of it cannot explain why such ignorance like yours should be tolerated. If acid could make you think better would you promote it? Or would you be too scared caused "you saw" friends... I think you failed at life BIG TIMES. Think for yourself, don't imagine how would it feel to be intelligent...
I did not state acid was the cause of all evil.That all these people I speak of went on to rape and murder.
cogen651 You're FOS. Such a sweeping generalization is pure poppycock. Not everyone who took LSD was Charles Manson. Dr. Leary has a good chapter about Charles Manson in Neuropolitique. He offers that Manson was a byproduct of the US Military and prison systems. Leary was a good psychologist. He is credited for developing the Stanford Binet intelligence test and no doubt had a better idea of the intelligence quotient of his opponents than they do.
tim leary love to you, genuine legend and guru.
Nobody needs a guru.
What year was this aired?
he didn't want to run away... I always heard about tim leary... but now I have the greatest..respect.. this is a true guru....
Quote by Hunter S. Thompson...We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled that 60's. 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 the 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 life-style 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.
Stupid people take drugs stupidly. Do your homework. There are no drugs, just chemicals and dosages.
It's really interesting how suddenly everything Leary says in this interview stops being "naive, idiotic, delusional, dangerous, etc." when you know the truth.
awesome interview! more stanley siegel shows please! i remember his show from the 70s. very smart and funny guy stanley was. for the life of me i don't know why his tv career didn't progress.
This is so weird I don't even know what to think. A set up? A staging based on an agreement from all parts? It's hard to believe Timothy was caught by surprise. He didn't have to sit there while being called an idiot. I think there's something more to it. I have taken LSD many times, I'm not totally against Tim, but nowadays I have certain reservations. On the other side, if this is not staged, what these guys did to Leary here is pretty disgusting. Also Timothy was pretty out of it. He didn't show his sharp side here. He looked just like a slow, brain damaged, dysfunctional pothead. I was on that frame of mind once, when I was a pothead. I could think but I could not externalize in the right timing. That's what I see here with Tim. He's trying hard to keep his cool but the host owns him.
didnt look like that to me lol.
No need to be that extremist. There are millions of people between these two.
WHOA!!!!!you go Dr . Leary! You were mad , but you were a mad SCIENTIST and a genius. XD !
plz help im looking for a tv show appearance he did it was removed from youtube and the net its not documented on wiki imdb etc its hilarious the host gets angry and starts yelling at tim and he laughs his azz off and says carm down carm down and the audience piss themselves laughing does any1 know of it?? thx
My favorite interview. Understand each side and you have a good start on understanding why people are where people are in the world right now.
Anyway, shut him up. We have a lot invested in this ride....

Thanks, I think it was just a case of shooting the messenger.
Well, I met him at Stanford University in the 60"s.Between him & Ozley Acid in SF, lucky to be here.......but lots of good memories....
Anyone know the name of the Host?
Thank you for your comments. I found it to be useful testimony, giving further credence to what I see as the probable case regarding Leery. If you have any more detailed information to specifically diagnose Leery as psychotic, I would be interested to hear it. Either way, thanks.
Thank you, Jefferson Airplane for creating good music and bringing intelligent, thought provoking lyrics to pop music. "Chaos or community! can't you see on this and future Sundays!"
Love this man. And yes, he's an intellectual leader. It's about being peaceful and loving. I would have thrown myself out the window too with a father like Art Linkletter.
That host tried to sandbag him. Ghoulish!
The name art link letter sounds CIA friendly.
Amazing, the resemblance between Art Linkletter and Richard Nixon.
Hey Art, LSD is a great tool for those who can reap its benefits.
