re: At what point/age range in your life did you stop being a follower?

I was about 21. Born in 83, and around 2004 I realized our govt lied to us about Iraq. Then, became a history major and realized that our govt has lied about a ton. That knowledge, mixed in with what Terrance McKenna (Google him) would call a “heroic dose” of mushrooms and LSD, made me realize most things within our society are bullshite, and that we are along for a temporary ride in this realm.
