For me. I love that book top 10 book in my world It's a great book But that is sort of the the central the beginning that and Huxley's book is where the first time we actually hear the term

I'll be the benicio del Toro to your Johnny Depp like in fear and loathing.

I don't know if any of you guys have listened to the podcast but it's very good and he talks about how if you ask a man at a random farm in the middle of nowhere in the middle east who he is he's gonna be able to tell you he knows exactly who he is he knows who his family has been for thousands of years he knows what his identity is what his job is you are gonna have a tough time manipulating that man into absurd ideologies whereas if you ask someone a modern suburbanite in the city who they are what did he say he said they don't need existentialist philosophers there they don't need these people asking who are we because they know we need those people here because we are such a diaspora we are so spread out we are kicked out of our houses we don't know who our families are we don't know our history we don't have these lineages of jobs and we're very easily controllable because of that and very easily confused because of that you get offered a sense of identity in the realm of a new radical ideology every single day on twitter instagram youtube you're going to be desperate for that because there is nothing you are latched onto in this world when you are kicked away from your family and the closest people you have are nuclear and there's nothing outside of that even it's a big problem it's a huge issue

you explained that Thompson wrote in Fur and Loathing in Las Vegas, which at one time was one of my favorite books, you know, this Gonzo psychedelic classic. He wrote about this rare drug called Adrenochrome, right? Something only he get from a living body.

Absolutely. That's 100 percent where they got it. Adrenochrome is a real thing and it occurs in the brain. It is just kind of a, as The Times review says, it's more sasperilla than whiskey.

And the key thing here in Fear and Loving in Las Vegas is that this character in the book says I got it from a pedophile. And so there's the Adrenochrome pedophile connection.

Hunter S. Thompson might have said it best in fear and loathing in Las Vegas, quote, We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled the 60s. 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 laying 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 lifestyle that he had 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 to the light at the end of the tunnel.

I think you got to look back at Hunter S. Thompson, you know, because he originally wrote about that in the fear and loathing in Las Vegas.

I think it was like the first time a Drenacrome was mentioned in like the mainstream was in that book and at the time Hunter S. Thompson was a journalist and he was known as being a very brutally honest journalist.

And so he talked about Drenacrome in fear and loathing in Las Vegas and a lot of people point to that is like him being very honest about stuff he'd heard or seeing and because that's what he was known.

100 stumps that is writing fear and loathing in Las Vegas not about drugs but about the American dream that to me Hell's Angels is captured by the Quarries is myths and legends die hard in America because they proved to us that the tyranny of the rat race is not yet final it's a the Hell's Angels were a revolt against the corporatization and the you know the buzz cut you know button down sort of world that had come out of the Second World War but Thompson is basically Thompson isn't celebrating them he's saying that the curates maybe worse than the disease these are these he shows them you know doing a gang rape right
