Stephen Colbert’s Magical Satire

It’s astounding how many people don’t understand Colbert’s act.

Colbert Study: Conservatives Don’t Know He’s Joking

“This study investigated biased message processing of political satire in The Colbert Report and the influence of political ideology on perceptions of Stephen Colbert. Results indicate that political ideology influences biased processing of ambiguous political messages and source in late-night comedy. Using data from an experiment (N = 332), we found that individual-level political ideology significantly predicted perceptions of Colbert’s political ideology. Additionally, there was no significant difference between the groups in thinking Colbert was funny, but conservatives were more likely to report that Colbert only pretends to be joking and genuinely meant what he said while liberals were more likely to report that Colbert used satire and was not serious when offering political statements. Conservatism also significantly predicted perceptions that Colbert disliked liberalism. Finally, a post hoc analysis revealed that perceptions of Colbert’s political opinions fully mediated the relationship between political ideology and individual-level opinion.”

“I think a lot of conservatives are going to pissed when they realize that Stephen Colbert’s performance at the 2006 White House Correspondents’ Dinner was not, in fact, an awkward and ineffective attempt to praise President George W. Bush, but actually a bitter and satiric criticism of his incompetence!”

Following Excerpt from: VISIONS, FRACTALS, and TIME – Mckenna Interview

John David Ebert: You’ve mentioned that psilocybin facilitates contact with what appears to be an alien mind or intelligence of some sort. You have a theory about UFOs that suggests they somehow may be projections of this intelligence out of the psyche. Could you discuss that?

Terence McKenna: Psyche, or consciousness, is a very slippery concept. One researcher, Julian Jaynes, has suggested that human consciousness has changed its character even in historical times. Jaynes felt that in Homeric times, the ego as we know it was really not in existence, except under extreme stress. And then it presented itself almost as an exterior intrusion into consciousness, like the voice of a god. I think that the major difference between modern materialistic consciousness and archaic shamanic consciousness is that the archaic shamanic consciousness interprets much of its perception as coming from an organized and intelligent Other. And I, after having gone through the extraterrestrial interpretation for a number of years, have come to the opinion that this Other that we contact through these things is nothing more or less than a kind of integrated intelligence that pervades the entire planet. For want of a better tag, let’s just call it the Gaian Overmind.

I think for a long time through history, people were fully conscious, fully at home with language and theater and ritual and magic, but they were cradled, if you like, or embedded in an almost continuous dialogue with the rest of reality, experienced as of a seamless consciousness which they called the Great Spirit or the Ancestors or simply God. The Western cultural and linguistic heritage has been largely a building of defenses against this Other and of humanity.

So when we go into the wilderness and ingest psychedelic plants and perform ancient paradigmatic rituals, if we are successful in dissolving the conditioning and the expectations of modernity and materialism, we discover that this mystery is still there, still alive, still capable of dialoguing with us. And it’s absolutely confounding to people. They react to it either with ecstasy or fear, or tales of religious conversion or alien abduction. It entirely depends upon how it hits you. In this case, one man’s revelation is another man’s nightmare. But, I believe, the thing that lies behind all of this is a living intelligent natural mind of some sort that is simply an extension of the biosphere, of Gaia.
