Yup, Yup, Yup. Sesame Street was way ahead of it's time.

As author Malcolm Gladwell has stated, "Sesame Street was built
around a single, breakthrough insight: that if you can hold the
attention of children, you can educate them".[33] Gerald S.
Lesser, the CTW's first advisory board chair, went even further,
saying that the effective use of television as an educational
tool needed to capture, focus, and sustain children's
attention.[34] Sesame Street was the first children's show to
structure each episode, and the segments within them, to capture
children's attention, and to make, as Gladwell put it, "small
but critical adjustments" to keep it.[35] According to CTW
researchers Rosemarie Truglio and Shalom Fisch, Sesame Street
was one of the few children's television programs to utilize a
detailed and comprehensive educational curriculum, garnered from
formative and summative research.[36]
Sesame Street was conceived in 1966 during discussions between
television producer Joan Ganz Cooney and Carnegie Foundation
vice president Lloyd Morrisett. Their goal was to create a
children's television show that would "master the addictive
qualities of television and do something good with them",[3]
such as helping young children prepare for school. After two
years of research, the newly formed Children's Television
Workshop (CTW) received a combined grant of US$8 million ($52
million in 2016 dollars)[4] from the Carnegie Foundation, the
Ford Foundation, and the U.S. Federal Government to create and
produce a new children's television show.[5] The program
premiered on public television stations on November 10, 1969.[6]
It was the first preschool educational television program to
base its contents and production values on laboratory and
formative research.[7] Initial responses to the show included
adulatory reviews, some controversy,[8] and high ratings. By its
40th anniversary in 2009, Sesame Street was broadcast in over
120 countries, and 20 international versions had been
produced.[9]

Yes, and there was no Mescaline involved... Damn it!
Carlos Castaneda...
See below...
"Starting with The Teachings of Don Juan in 1968, Castaneda
wrote a series of books that describe his training in shamanism,
particularly with a group whose lineage descended from the
Toltecs. The books, narrated in the first person, relate his
experiences under the tutelage of a Yaqui "Man of Knowledge"
named don Juan Matus. His 12 books have sold more than 28
million copies in 17 languages. Critics have suggested that they
are works of fiction; supporters claim the books are either true
or at least valuable works of philosophy and descriptions of
practices which lead one to an awareness of energies, beings and
worlds which lie outside the perceptual paradigm of the vast
majority of human beings on this planet."
Suddenly, Sesame Street "with chemical brain surgery" becomes an
enlightening experience... For me anyways!
