Brilliant and so inspiring especially considering he would pass away very soon afterward. This is so inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world.

The night before he died? Wow, so sad. Glad we could hear Eric speak one more time on a very topic topic few understand and even fewer are talking about.

[@shortattentionspantheatre5075]

Very incisive.........including his observation on death, how prescient and rueful. RIP

[@sussmusik]

A prescient message for unprecedented times.

he mentions alotta stuff that is similar to Terence McKenna's idea of an archaic revival using digital technology. funny cause Terence studied alot of McLuhan's work and both have studied and read Finnegan's Wake by James Joyce.

how are you well read and also write 'cause' in place for 'because' when if you are trying to save time, you would write 'cuz'. "Cause' makes it look like you think that is proper grammar
