Maybe Logic: The Lives and Ideas of Robert Anton Wilson

[Kazak]

This film blew my mind! Highly recommended. Lots of great music, awesome visuals and editing, and really interesting and subversive thoughts and ideas. Great stuff!

Anyone familiar with R.A.W.? Anyone seen this film? Seek it! Seriously. (Or, is it siriusly?)

2. It's really great!

I've always been an admirer of his writings, but actaully seeing him express his viewpoints really gave me a whole new appreciation!

4. Just yesterday I picked up a copy of

"Everything is Under Control" at my local library book sale. I'm a great admirer of RAW. I hope to get a copy of The Thing That Ate the Constitution someday (Khephra was the first DUer with news of that title...).

3. Love Robert Anton Wilson!

Had no idea there was a film about him! fnord How excititng! It's region free as well, so I can import it! (I'll stop with the exclamation marks now.) Of all the people who write about the stuff he does, I've always found him the most interesting and entertaining. The fact that he does it all with a wonderful sense of humour is much appreciated.

I watched an hour long talk by him (from 2000) the other day. It was part of Richard Metzger's DisInfoCon (which also features Douglass Rushkoff, Kenneth Anger, Grant Morrison, Marilyn Manson, Joe Coleman & others). It comes as the 2nd disk to the "Disinformation" DVD:

I saw the original "Disinfo Nation" TV series over here & what made it to the Sci-Fi Channel is rather disappointing IMO, although there is some top stuff ("outsider music", more Joe Coleman, Howard Bloom, Kembra Pfahler, Genesis P-Orridge, and the genius eccentrics that are Rocket Boy and Mister Awesome. It also has the Montauk Project section, which is THE GREATEST conspiracy theory ever.)

Anyway, back to Wilson - I jotted down the topics he covered (look away now if you don't want to know!):

The Catholic Church, the Federal Reserve, Lewinsky, voting, Gore v Bush, Giambattista Vico, Wilhelm Reich, 'Saharasia', Timothy Leary, Andy Warhol and George Carlin.

Here's a link to the "Principia Discordia" to end with:

Thanks again for the heads-up!

6. Oh , he's great.

I've been a long time fan. I always keep a tape of "Religion For The Hell Of It" in my car. Never know when I might need it......

He's really quite amazing - he can make your mind shoot of in a thousand different directions or keep you firmly grounded.
