What's in a name?

I dunno, personally I think psychonaut isn't even about altered states of consciousness, but even regular states. Also, 'Naut' and the whole New Eden space theme is a connection I've made.

Also, I don't think Mckenna himself ever used the term. But I doubt he would object.

If only there were such a thing that allowed people to join and chat in a room using very low footprint software from pretty much any modern device, maybe have such server to Relay Internet Chat between users ;)

The term psychonaut was first used by Timothy Leary as part of his pop explanation of theories formed from years of crunching sociological data. His science of self determination was pretty radical and included the use of cybernetics (latin root:gubernates, same as governor) as a means for us to work out how to use our brains, which while being the most complex observable things in the universe, come with no instruction manual.
