The psychedelic sixties. Sex, drugs, and hard rock. Hollywood, California. Hippies. Flower Power. Vietnam. Make Love, not War. Student protests. Hair. The Doors. LSD. Purple Haze. Women's Liberation. Richard Nixon. Cultural upheaval. 2001: A Space Odyssey. Committed against her will.

To die before you’ve reached the sky is tragedy–the sky is always an inch away from our fingertips–no matter how high we may reach. –Jeff A. Brown...The world as it appears to me is my creation, and for it I must assume responsibility. Given, as the bricks out of which I can build a universe, is a chaotic kaleidoscope of colors, shapes, sounds, moods, hopes, fears, joys, pains, ideas, movements... Out of this anarchy, I organize a world for myself. I subdue the disordered shapelessness into a world by choosing one out of an infinity of possible structures.
–Peter Koestenbaum, "Existentialism: Philosophical Anthropology"
