“In the ascending spiral of evolution each new generation absorbs the experiences of the previous level and expands upon them…This “consciousness expansion” has reached a velocity of evolutionary acceleration at which several transformations occur within the life-span of a single generation. Because of mankind’s inevitable symbiosis with the mind-manifesting hallucinogens of the ecology on the one hand, and his organic partnership with machines on the other, an increasing number of the inhabitants of this planet live virtually in another world.”
— Gene Youngblood, theorist of media arts and politics, and a respected scholar in the history and theory of alternative cinemas, Expanded Cinema cited in Jason Silva, Imaginary Foundation, Connecting All The Dots - Jason SIlva on Big think, Dec 2010
