What this usage does not establish

Bibliographic verification does not by itself establish that the full text was read.
Open topic

Topics citing it and claims using it

Supporting citation for public claim

McKenna proposed that psilocybin catalyzed human cognition, language, religion, art, and culture; the catalog documents the proposal but does not establish the evolutionary causal chain.

The broad importance of altered states is plausible. McKenna's specific evolutionary chain is unsupported by the level of evidence required.
Open claim topic
Supporting citation for public claim

The catalog documents McKenna's I Ching-derived Timewave and pre-2012 endpoint claim, but supplies no independent validation of it as a predictive model.

The dossier treats this as an open source and evidence question.
