This article kind of reminds me of when a report was due in 7'th grade and I didn't really want to do it.
I'd just look up a bunch of stuff and reword it and jam it all together with no real thesis or point. It always passed.

jqm's post is not constructive. Even a less snarky "I found this article badly written" probably doesn't help other people decide whether or not to read it. You can flag it or not as you see fit, but there's no value in posting a comment like that.

Only constant enforcement keeps the site that way. http://lesswrong.com/lw/c1/wellkept_gardens_die_by_pacifism/
ps: It's a fiction that LSD helped certain people in their creativity. These so-called psychonaut are selling a dangerous form of snakeoil. Terence Mckenna and the rest, after decades communicating with DMT machine elves etc, what have they brought back from the 'other side', absolutely nothing of value. Going on the blurb on Amazon 'Heads: A Biography of Psychedelic America' reminds me of 'The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test'. A very interesting section in there on 'Ken Kesey'. He of 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest ' fame. I don't think Tom Wolfe could have wrote 'Acid Test' if he actually was on LSD.
