Quote #7
"You know, with the LSD, we're finding, the distinction begins to vanish. Egos lose their sharp edges." (5.165)
Considering his own predicament, why do you think Hilarius might be so interested in LSD if this is really its effect?
Quote #8
"Day by day, Wendell is less himself and more generic. He enters a staff meeting and the room is suddenly full of people, you know? He's a walking assembly of man." (6.202)
Does this seem to contradict the popular notion that doing drugs somehow makes one unique? That it is a way to rebel? What do you make of the fact that it actually makes Wendell more generic?
Quote #9
"You don't get addicted. It's not like you're some hophead. You take it because it's good. Because you hear and see things, even smell them, taste like you never could. Because the world is so abundant. No end to it, baby. You're an antenna, sending your pattern out across a million lives a night, and they're your lives too." (6.320)
Does it seem to you that drugs have made Wendell happy? If so, what is wrong with the fact that he takes them?
