“Chaos is what we’ve lost touch with. This is why it is given a bad name. It is feared by the dominant archetype of our world, which is
Ego, which clenches because its existence is defined in terms of control.” Terrence McKennaknows this. “The Bible tells us to be like God, and then on page after page it describes God as a mass murderer. This may be the single
most important key to the political behavior of Western Civilization”, suggests Robert Anton Wilson. “The churning of a human mind is unpredictable, as is the anatomy of the human
heart”, opinions Rudy Rucker.
Meet three counter/sub-culture masterminds in a film that defies every genre kategory and basks in the glory of
hybridization. For when it doesn’t look like a documentary, it plays like a part-Expressionist, part-Dadist farce. Mind-expanding is the word!
