Check out these digital images by #KeithHaring that were recently found on a floppy disc in #TimothyLeary's archives. Haring created these images on an Amiga computer in 1987 for a project with Leary that never came to fruition. Luckily we all get to enjoy these images today.

I read a great deal of Timothy Leary's work when I was in my early 20s, including most of the material cited in this article. I didn't even notice the extremely problematic eugenics angle at the time, but in retrospect, it's like a neon sign. This comes right on the heels of watching a video about Blavatsky's esoteric racism. Is every transhumanist movement destined to go down this dark path?

His campaign slogan was “Come together, join the party” and his campaign song was supposed to be, “Come Together,” which was conceived specifically with Leary’s political aspirations in mind by John Lennon.   Learys and Lennons   Sadly, after Leary was arrested on December 26th, 1968 for the possession of two pot roaches (for which he was given a ten-year prison sentence, with another ten-year sentence tacked on to that due to a previous arrest in 1965, let that one sink in), his campaign went up in well, smoke.   Leary’s prison mugshot   Lucky for us, the 45-minute long, three-track record (which was...
