i can't figure out if Terence Mckenna was extremely intelligent or retarded

for the most part i like the guy, even though alot of his shit is super out there or blatantly wrong (timewave zero)

he's so well read compared to anyone ive ever met and it kind of oozes out and he ends up accidentally teaching history, and i agree with alot of his intuitions and general feelings

but goddamn is he hard to sell to someone.

i realize its likely he was both intelligent and retarded, its just hard to figure out how to categorize him mentally
