102. Having seen death up close and personal a couple of times, I think that ketamine connection is

a significant phenomenon.

What is/are its evolutionary function(s)? Do other species have anything like this? Similarities? Differences?

And as with any image - ation (sorry about the clumsy neologism there, but I like that better than "imagery" or "imagination" because it has less cultural baggage) . . . why THIS image-ation and NOT some other? Certainly you can make a nice functional Jungian/evolutionary case for why ketamine does what it does at that particular moment, but I just guess it's the profound intimacy and power of those connections to WhateverIs that I find so Truly awesome that, even with its inherent human limitations, even out of the very tiniest tips of branches that continue to Reach, No Matter What, even there, for me, it fits the function of what a "god" would be.

Have you seen The Road yet? Or read Cormac McCarthy's book?
