Please check out the comments section - priceless. The mushroom culture is reacting. I added something to clarify and encourage others to do so to.

Also, this is exciting. Seeing a pragmatic approach given a voice in a national platform is really cool. I also think it is just the beginning.

I loved your comment, Ron, and I'm glad you waded in. Many of the comments on the thread were full of unsolicited and condescending advice for the author and the kind of ponderous pseudo-wisdom that comes from a lot of thinking and a little practice.

I reckon a few people will make the sea change from dilettante pundits to real yogis as a result of the article and I have to think that's a very good thing.

This is so cool. Really excited by this.
