What is Reddit's opinion of Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

You even listen to Terrence McKenna?? Lol you'll be fine! I say go for it.

The thing about Terrence McKenna is that, like his brother Dennis said,if he's right about even 1% of his claims, that's a very important thing in the world.

I read a book once on ayahausca and DNA where this geneticist did an anthropology thing where he went and did ayahuasca with tribes in South America to scientifically prove a connection between ayahausca and DNA. It's a VERY interesting read. He does a great job at dumbing it down to laymen's terms so that someone who's not a scientist can read the book and understand it. Then the second half of the book is all works cited. Sources for every single claim he makes during the book. So if someone wanted to they could see proof for all the things he was claiming. He does great at not adding any of his personal beliefs into the book as well, it is purely scientific. It's called the cosmic serpent : Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge https://www.amazon.com/dp/0874779642/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_5QgMBbG18AQY8

Reminds me of this book. https://www.amazon.ca/Cosmic-Serpent-DNA-Origins-Knowledge/dp/0874779642

I read it about 10 years ago when I was writing a paper about peyote use and my prof suggested I look into some of the wacky stuff published about indigenous drug use for perspective. Don't remember much of it, but drug use leading to an intuitive understanding of the double helix as the fundamental life encoding system was definite a part of it. Peterson probably read it.

While I haven't read this one, it purports to answer some of these questions

(it does seem far fetched, although listening to the video in the OP, I'm having trouble finding where JP mentioned DNA specifically... Can anyone please link hr:mn:sc?)

I recommend this book. I read it a while back and remember it having some good information on Ayahausca and its tribal uses. I'm pretty sure that the author also tries it and gives his report.

Well to get Jungian on you for a sec, snakes are a widespread symbol of rebirth. They are associated with a very ancient mother goddess too.

Check out Tiamat

Serpents are also a big ayahuasca/DMT motif.

Seems like a pretty powerful "big changes coming" dream, and in a good way. Getting away from constriction, abuse, or trauma. Jack Sparrow is a pretty good Trickster god, too, and the tricksters are there to spring us out of jail.

I'd say the powers are on your side. Go forth and be fearless and awesome.

This fantastic book goes into great detail about shamanism and how the plants from different areas spoke to the tribesmen about how to make the perfect ayahuasca brew!

In my experience, it is not unusual for beginners to think that they might need to move to another country to investigate shamanism. However, they fail to understand that the strangest/best things can be found just down the road. Also - there is no point in healing others if you dont know what you are doing. Normally I dont recommend books but in this case I think you need to read around the subject and figure out your intentions. This is a good starting point: https://www.amazon.com/Cosmic-Serpent-DNA-Origins-Knowledge/dp/0874779642 . All the best

A MUST read for anyone who has ever partaken :)
