My shrink has me on Progenil, which is some kind of weird enpatrogen (I hate that word. Can’t they call it an enmatrogen?) that gives me access to the memories of my ancestors. This is great, but it doesn’t have any lateral effectiveness—no access at all to aunts and uncles, great-aunts and great-uncles, etc. How long are we going to have to wait for a decent entiogen?
As I understand it, most of the side-effects of this stuff are due to the thousands of ancestors you have once you get back ten generations—or around 200 years—or around 1770 if you’re me. A long time ago, but not way way lost in the mists of time. And once you get to the actual mists… Jesus! It’s motley back there, and a bunch of it comes through in crazy-assed Finno-Ugric dialects that can be really disorienting. You have to just sort of relax and treat it like the sound of the sea.
