Think For Yourself - Question Authority
Here's something to think about -
"Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities---the political, the religious, the educational authorities---who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing---forming in our minds---their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable open-mindedness, chaotic, confused vulnerability to inform yourself."

Authority is a dynamic institution, one that is an integral part of the human mind. Once in a blue moon, there will be radical thinkers who challenge the status quo. These men and women shape their society and government through revolutionary ideas. Although not widely accepted at the time of conception, the theories grow to affect the public conscience of authority. Timothy Leary is one of these men.

Do love that poem. It's the only one I can recite perfectly. Also worth mentioning it's the opening for tool - third eye on salival.
