Info-Psychology Timothy Leary
THE EVOLUTION, STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
2. Info-psychology (Psi-Phy) Is the Psychology of Quantum Physics: Philosophy Based on Scientific Fact.

The theories presented in this transmission might be called Science Faction, or Philosophy of Science, or Psychology of Physics. Psi Phy.[1]

They are scientific in that they are based on empirical findings from physics, physiology, pharmacology, genetics, astronomy, behavioral psychology, information science, and most important, neurology.

They are fictional in the Wittgensteinian sense that all theories and speculations beyond the mathematical propositions of natural science are subjective.

They are factional in the sense that current advances in Space Migration, Neurologic and the Life Extension sciences have already gone beyond the fantasies of most science fiction writers. Science Fact is now farther-out than Science Fiction. We are now creating a future which is more incredible than 2001. O'Neill space cylinders are more complex and advanced than Clarke-Kubrick space-ships.

This book was written in various prisons to which the author had been sentenced for dangerous ideology and violations of Newtonian and religious laws.

Other philosophers (notably Christian theologians, statistical materialists, Marxian dialecticians) make different interpretations of the currently available corpus of scientific fact. Such theories, however popular, are equally fictional. History suggests that philosophies accepted as academic dogma or enforced by punitive legal sanctions are not necessarily any less fictional than those which are persecuted and censored. Indeed, there is some sociological evidence that science fictions are forcibly suppressed only when they are more likely to accelerate human evolution than the defensive orthodoxies which they challenge. We think of Socrates, Bruno, Copernicus, Darwin, Pasteur, Sakharov.
