LSD: My Problem Child

Albert Hofmann
Michael PeiferMichael Peifer

@DavidSpero14 Another example I like to use is Albert Hofmann, the brilliant scientist who first synthesized LSD. A wonderful substance with amazing potential to help liberate people, but immediately seized upon by Sidney Gottlieb (CIA, Project MKUltra) in attempt to control/manipulate people.

Church Committee
Michael PeiferMichael Peifer

[1/9]🧵Church Committee Hearings In light of recent #TwitterFiles hearings, I decided to make a thread about the Church Committee which exposed COINTELPRO to the public ~50 years ago. Many of us weren't alive then, but it provides very important context to what's happening now. https://t.co/SQyAiyjgZ0

Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal

Ayn Rand
Michael PeiferMichael Peifer

@MoSoApril2019 @A_refusenik That article is so ridiculous on so many levels. One of my favorite lines: "Capitalism’s greatest intellectual champion, Ayn Rand..." Those poor Capitalists 😂 Meanwhile Socialism championed by Einstein, MLK Jr, and basically all intelligent life since the dawn of Capitalism.

The New Inquisition: Irrational Rationalism and the Citadel of Science

Robert Anton Wilson
Michael PeiferMichael Peifer

@BehaviorTrap @Earnest101 @e_galv Are you familiar with the term "scientism"? I recommend reading Robert Anton Wilson's "The New Inquisition" about fundamentalist materialism. https://t.co/bz6fdyrzTQ I just see it as a very dangerous direction we're headed in modern science. And I agree with Einstein here: https://t.co/z4dl7duvL6

The Twentieth Century: A People's History

Howard Zinn
Michael PeiferMichael Peifer

@janintheUSA @RWMaloneMD Sounds to me like you just aren't very familiar with the history of working class movements in general. I recommend reading Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States". An excellent place to start for those who want to learn about early union activists & IWW, etc. https://t.co/E9STAZYFCh

@ChristianDunca @SSRussianBot @jordanbpeterson Here's another example of a famous former US Republican/libertarian who transitioned towards anarchism (libertarian socialism) through people like Emma Goldman. https://t.co/4XTpdhfJat

Sexual Revolution

Wilhelm Reich
Michael PeiferMichael Peifer

@culture280 @KimIversenShow You're thinking of Freud, and one of his students Wilhelm Reich who is often associated with the sexual revolution. Jung was the one who split from Freud's overly-sexualized view of the psyche/unconscious and developed his own model of depth psychology (which I prefer).

Religion: An Introductory Reader

Rudolf Steiner
Michael PeiferMichael Peifer

@livingintolight @zerohedge @pbrelin Interesting. If it's true more young people are turning to religion, it makes me think of a prediction Rudolf Steiner made shortly before his death in 1924 known as his "Michael Prophecy". The shift away from materialism toward spirituality (in a new form) https://t.co/OwfjX4o0aP https://t.co/VuD8SWALfV
