More Quotes from Terence McKenna:
The apocalypse is not something which is coming. The apocalypse has arrived in major portions of the planet and it's only because we live within a bubble of incredible privilege and social insulation that we still have the luxury of anticipating the apocalypse. If you go to Bosnia or Somalia or Peru or much of the third-world then it appears that the apocalypse has already arrived.Terence McKenna

Terence McKenna
Animals are something invented by plants to move seeds around. An extremely yang solution to a peculiar problem which they faced.
