Weʼre not pragmatists anymore. For at least a couple of hundred years Americans have always been thought of as pragmatic philosophers ... and all you have to do is take LSD one time to realize that that is not going to happen.

ReplyDeleteこの男はノーベル賞の化学賞の受賞者である。この男は、しかしながら大の女好きで通っているし、サーフィン狂いでも通っている。秘書とこっそりサーフィンをするのでも有名だ。のみならず超常現象が大好きで、おまけにＬＳＤの常用者であるともっぱら信じられている。そこで、この男のことをたいていのマスコミは「史上最も身持ちの悪い化学者」とよぶ。

Maybe LSD expand his brain sensors? some says that LSD is less harm than taking sugar?
