Michael Pollan: fascinating lecture on the evolution of plant drugs and their ubiquity in human culture (and religion..)

Bill Maher’s movie Religulous now viewable online in its entirety

This is an entertaining film. I do think it’s preaching to the choir a little bit, and some of his methods are a little too antagonistic in my opinion, but an interesting watch nonetheless. I saw this film in a relatively empty theater and some people sat down directly behind us (who does that?) and one of these bitches laughed ridiculously at every other line. I didn’t find this film that hilarious, in fact I found it somewhat scary.
