> However, in hindsight, Leary proved to be a false prophet who helped destroy the 1960s movements by pushing young people to take a drug that fried their brains and diverted their energy from political activism. This is a pretty bogus claim. False prophet maybe, but the idea that political activism fizzled out because everyone was eating acid seems pretty unsubstantiated.
