Ray Peat, "Psychedelic", p. 27

Tim Leary stands up for human rights and human desires. He’s in prison, and may not get out in the 20th century. Richard Alpert, of the New Haven Railroad family, is free to travel anywhere in the capitalist world, spreading the old ruling-class lie that desire is bad for you, that simple, thoughtless, passive labor is a proper human role. Alpert is the opiate of the hippies. By comparison, Tim Leary is psychedelic.
