Obviously, it changes the way you think. You should watch the video lectures too.

So do drugs, that doesn't necessary mean it's good.

A fair point.

Consider SICP as a cancer-killing drug.

How did SICP change the way you think?

Can you sum that up in a few sentences?

Scheme is still a very decent language: you can learn a lot from its concepts and it's still used in AI research and SICP is a great book, take a look at essayists like Paul Graham and Joel Spolsky, there is a reason why this meme exists.
LISP being the most powerful and cleanest of languages, that's the language that the GNU project always prefers.
