    1962 "biomechanical dis-equilibrium" 39:50, would translate in 2021 as "microbiome imbalance". Aldous instinctively knew that mental illness had its roots organically, but the precise mechanism whereas gut micro organisms actually control mental functions/immune system intimately, was just not known well ~~

    He has a similar theory in “Doors of Perception” but is to do with sugar starvation to the brain through mescaline etc

    Gut bacterial imbalances certainly isn't every form of "biomechanical disequilibrium". Neurology is a science.

    His defense of the supernatural is gibberish. When I was five years old, nobody forced their version of reality onto me, and yet I never saw anything supernatural.

    I think you're vastly misunderstanding what Huxley said there. All he means is the supernatural is basically everything outside of the normal human view of life and reality we've mapped out for ourselves. I'm sorry you didn't see a goblin in your bedroom when you were 5 years old.. whatever that has to do with any of this.

    The absolutely insufferable hubris on this guy. He was exposed to Christianity and western philosophy as a child and so understood it as a child, conversely he was exposed to eastern religion as an adult and so understood it as an adult. There is no insight here.

    Huxley said Christianity doesn't have the same level of symbolism as Hinduism. That doesn't mean he was dismissing Christianity. Have you ever read the Perennial Philosophy? A large portion of the book is focused on Christian mysticism.

    If you’re calling Huxley a pompous toff, while simultaneously using the words “pompous” and “toff”, you might want to take a look at yourself.
