Terrence McKenna: NWO Shill? Or Out of Touch?

I just listened to this interview linked to at The Excavator with no comment by the blogger.  Allow me to comment.  I've got a bone to pick with Mr. McKenna.

Here's an imbed
In this interview, McKenna mentions a "new, more attractive order" that he thinks is coming.  (is this the New World Order?) He asserts that mankind is becoming more like a coral reef that "excretes" gadgets, and becoming less like apes (has he visited any of the Occupy protests lately?  Seen any footage of riots?  Spent any time sober?).  He claims the recent social chaos is a sign that we will colonize space (this sort of space program would require high levels of social order and organization, not chaos).  He sums it all up by claiming that the UFO's and aliens that people see as hallucinations when they take DMT (a psychedelic drug) are real, and that they are humans from the future, and that we will eventually evolve into little gray aliens when we get off the planet into our space colonies and become "totally wired".

The only thing that makes him sound reasonable is his largish vocabulary, but if you listen and jot down his assertions and then read your notes he sounds like a loon.  What is he on?  Oh, never mind.  Whatever it is, I think he took too much of it that day.  I am inspired to a poem:

The effete elite with a fab vocab holds forth in his ivory tower.
He smoked too much grass, now his head's up his a$$ and he probably needs a shower.

Someone give that man some wood to chop and some water to carry.  And some niacin.
