Lil Wayne Does “A Milli” on FNMTV

Friday, June 27th, 2008

From the Battlezone-on-DMT opening, to the nonstop victory lap, to the perfectly timed ending, its pretty clear why Wayne is selling “a milli plus” these days. The energy in this performance is off the charts, and it gives this clip enough enthusiasm to make it stand out amongst the viral video noisefuck that is “teh internets”. When was the last time a “viral” video really moved you? Wayne is an Afronaut.



Shouts to Mike Lowry.

He became the first human guinea pig of the drug when a tiny amount of the substance seeped onto his finger during a repeat of the laboratory experiment April 16, 1943.

“I had to leave work for home because I was suddenly hit by a sudden feeling of unease and mild dizziness,” he wrote in a memo to company bosses.

“Everything I saw was distorted as in a warped mirror,” he said, describing his bicycle ride home. “I had the impression I was rooted to the spot. But my assistant told me we were actually going very fast.”

Three days later, Hofmann experimented with a larger dose. The result was a horror trip.

“The substance which I wanted to experiment with took over me. I was filled with an overwhelming fear that I would go crazy. I was transported to a different world, a different time,” Hofmann wrote.

Reality Is A Shared Hallucination

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

The artificial construction of reality was to play a key role in the new form of global intelligence which would soon emerge among human beings. If the group brain’s “psyche” were a beach with shifting dunes and hollows, individual perception would be that beach’s grains of sand. However this image has a hidden snag - pure individual perception does not exist.

Author Howard Bloom examines the constructs of reality in this 1997 article from German magazine Telepolis.
