John C. Lilly - The Man Who Talked To Dolphins, Invented The Float Tank And Talked To AI In 1979

He invented the isolation tank. He taught dolphins to speak. He designed the electrical waveform running inside every deep brain stimulator working today. He was in the room where SETI got its name. ⠀ Then in 1974 something contacted him inside the tank and told him what was coming. He tried to reach the President. His friends nearly had him committed. Four years later he published the whole story. ⠀ What he wrote in 1978 reads now like a note from someone who had already lived through the next fifty years. ⠀ Today we go through the entire life of Dr. John C. Lilly — the strangest experiment the 20th century ran on itself. Most people who use his tools have never heard his name. ⠀
