Terence McKenna – 230 Trialogue The Evolutionary Mind Part 3 1998

“Who would talk about the evolutionary mind? Who cares about the good and evil in the evolution of species,
and so on? This must be interesting only to the degree to which it informs us in this very present moment
regarding our choices that we will make in the creation of our future.” -Ralph Abraham
“In a dynamical system, or a massively complex dynamical system such as we live in, when there is a moment
of bifurcation, which is the technical mass jargon for “the snap”, that is the only time you get to do anything
about the evolution of the system. So according to this self-inflating view, we live at an especially important
special moment in history where when we think something or do something it has actually an enormous effect
on the future. … What we do has some influence on the creation of the future more than at other times in
history.” -Ralph Abraham
