In this fortnight's edition of psychonautica, Max Freakout interviews Michael Hoffman, author of the egodeath theory and the entheogen theory of religion, and the man behind egodeath.com. They discuss the nature of free-will and the idea of transcending it, the concept of block-universe determinism and its role for facilitating an understanding of the egodeath theory, and the role of the shaman as the tribal healer. Also, the controversies concerning Hoffman's outspoken views on drug-free meditation and drug-war activism are covered. Finer details of the theory are also discussed, including the idea of myth-as-metaphor, and Hoffman's critisim of Mckenna's stoned ape theory of evolution. Finally, Max gives a run-down of the competition winners with their prizes in the post.
