Some good ideas overall, but his constant criticism of religion and particularly christianity is a bit obnoxious. I am a big critic of these as well, but I do not really enjoy pure attack without reflecting on the good aspects (and even the craziest religions have some good aspects).

He made some comments also about ibogaine that do not match my current knowledge of the topic. Need to read more on that elsewhere.

It must be recollected that Linnaeus included silex, as well as limestone, under the name of "calx," and that he would probably have arranged Diatoms among animals, as part of "chaos." Ehrenberg quotes another even more pithy passage, which I have not been able to find in any edition of the Systema accessible to me: "Sic lapides ab animalibus, nec vice versa. Sic runes saxei non primaevi, sed temporis filiae."
