Le Dr Timothy Leary a d'abord postulé le concept SMI²LE dans son livre, Exo-Psychologie: Un manuel sur l'utilisation du système nerveux selon les instructions de ses fabriquants (Leary, Timothy. 1977. Starseed / Peace Press) . Leary a souligné l'importance de la colonisation spatiale et une extension de la durée de vie humaine tout en fournissant une explication détaillée du modèle de conscience à huit circuits. Il a adopté l'acronyme SMI²LE comme résumé succinct de son agenda pré-transhumaniste: SM (migration spatiale) + I² (augmentation de l'intelligence) + LE (extension de la vie).Le plan de colonisation de Leary variait considérablement au fil des ans. Selon son projet initial de quitter la planète, 5000 des individus les plus virils et les plus intelligents de la Terre seraient lancés sur un navire (Starseed 1) équipé d'équipements de luxe. Dans les années 1980, il en est venu à embrasser les plans plus réalistes et égalitaires du scientifique de la NASA Gerard O'Neill pour construire des mini-Terres géantes à haute orbite de type Eden en utilisant la technologie existante et les matières premières de la Lune, des roches orbitales et des satellites obsolètes.L'archive de photos suivante contient une adaptation magnifiquement illustrée du concept SMI²LE qui est apparu pour la première fois dans Epic Magazine en octobre 1981. Le Dr Leary s'est appelé lui-même "Commodore" dans son autobiographie, Flashbacks, et apparaît ici comme le héros intrépide de "Contact" . POUR UNE EXPÉRIENCE PSYCHÉDÉLIQUE RÉUSSIE. Amusez-vous...

Throughout the ages, intelligent, affluent, ambitious, and just plain hot-to-trot humans have sought out aphrodisiacs everything from rhino horns to green M&Ms. Here, Timothy Leary argues that the true aphrodisiac is the mind. By knowing how to stimulate the most sensitive organ of all, the brain, readers can enrich their sex lives beyond their wildest dreams. Leary begins by telling his own coming-of-sexual-age story in typically witty fashion, then goes on to explore humanity's obsession with physical pleasure, digital activation of the erotic brain, and the fascination with cybersex. He explains how phones and computers allow perfect strangers to achieve amazing levels of intimacy and why telecommunicated sexual messages are now a standard courting technique for young people in industrial-urban societies. Ruminating on everything from sexual liberation to electronic foreplay, Leary offers a persuasive explanation of why the key to arousal is "e;all in your head."e;

Death is increasingly on the agenda for baby boomers moving ever closer to it. Timothy Leary brings some startlingly fresh ideas to this topic.Fundamentally, he claims, we have been brainwashed by our institutions government, organized religion, the healthcare industry to accept death as an inevitable end. Leary argues instead that death is misunderstood, that we don't have to die, and that there are "e;commonsense alternatives."e; His theory rests on the transhumanist approach that says human beings are evolving into spiritual machines beings that are part human and part machine and eventually will not die as the term is commonly understood. Being fitted with machine parts like bionic knees is part of this process. And as we evolve through the cybernetic age, he says, we will gain new wisdom that broadens our definition of personal immortality and gene-pool survival the "e;postbiologic option of the information species."e;
