“It’s not psychism and it never was. It is perhaps analogous to riding the waveform that distributed cognition sets up, and then filtering it madly to produce a specific result that isn’t simply ‘explosive learning’ — which is what basic riding produces as an intrinsic result of contact. We used to do it all the time as infants, and believe me, no drugs were required. In fact, they would have shut it down.”
