selfmetaprogrammer

This chapter presents an overview and historical context of Dr. John C. Lilly's work on programming and metaprogramming in the human biocomputer, emphasizing the concept that humans are programmable entities shaped by built-in and acquired neurological programs. It traces the evolution of nervous system complexity leading to metaprogramming capabilities in the cerebral cortex, which enables learning to learn, symbolic thought, and self-directed programming. The chapter also discusses the sociopolitical challenges faced during LSD research and the foundational role of this work as a precursor to later explorations of consciousness and self-metaprogramming.
