@aardvark179 If you can cope with a long read, this was my response after reading the Exegesis back in 1994.

Robert Anton Wilson's 45-year span of political essays challenges traditional left-right thinking https://boingboing.net/2025/12/01/robert-anton-wilsons-45-year-span-of-political-essays-challenges-traditional-left-right-thinking.html #RAW #RobertAntonWilson

#CurrentlyReading Lion of Light, a collection of #RobertAntonWilson's writing on #AleisterCrowley (rhymes with slowly).

Crowley was born rich and died poor, in between he ponced around doing drugs and shagging in exotic locations, climbed mountains, had psychotic breaks in China, was labelled the most wicked man in England by the tabloid press and appeared posthumously on the cover of Sgt Pepper.

Wilson makes it all make sense somehow.

It's a good read but the cover is AI shit.

One of the best days to post this. #pope #illuminati #robertantonwilson #discordianism

Fine. I'll do it. I was already Pope anyway. (And, now, you are too.)

"As long as people kept worrying that the machines were taking over, they wouldn't notice what was really happening. Which was that the programmers were taking over."

—Robert Anton Wilson, Schrödinger's Cat III: The Homing Pigeons (1979)

Mike Gathers and R.U. Sirius. It’s a winning combination.

Another sweet pickup for $1 at resale. It's in such fantastic condition. I don't think the previous owner cracked the spine. I've attempted to read the series twice and can't get much beyond maybe 3/4 through book 1? It just goes Gravity's Rainbow at some point to me.

Depressed that I can't find anything on the internet about an event I attended with @kleptones & others in either 1996 or 1997 in #Brighton at the #BrightonDome which featured #TerenceMcKenna via video link & #RobertAntonWilson & #NicholasSaunders in person speaking about #psychedelics, #history, #consciousness and #death

I might have to go in to the attic and start digging in the archives to see if I can find any paper relics of this remarkable occasion.

It’s important to kick the year off right by exposing yourself to good media and you could do a heck of a lot worse than an hour of Arlen and Robert Anton Wilson being interviewed at home in Ireland in the ‘80s.

@adriano In which case my "No" is all the more emphatic.

UX is purpose.

Make blocking apparent. Make it highly discoverable. Suggest blocking where it seems that there's a possibly heated or nonproductive engagement emerging. (Or other alternatives such as muting.) Provide an interface to review blocks/mutes, and potentially reverse them. (Something I do occasionally, but virtually always end up re-instating myself.)

But do NOT change the incentives or rewards to blocking / muting beyond the direct and personal mental hygiene of the party enacting it.

In any informational environment, rewarding anything other than direct truth or utility turns out to be tremendously distortionary. That's an expansion of Celine's Second Law: "Accurate communication is possible only in a non-punishing situation." (Robert Anton Wilson.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celine%27s_laws

If you punish inconvenient truths or reward appealing lies, you're going to end up with a highly distorted epistemic landscape. Facebook, Twitter, and much else on social media should be an entirely sufficient argument against gamification of such feedbacks

Be careful what you incentivise. You will get it.

“When the pope sits on the chamber pot to shit, does he believe in his own infallibility? Does not every imposter occasionally recognize his own hairy, homely humanity? Perhaps not; worn long enough, sometimes the Mask of Authority becomes the man. Even looking in a mirror, he will see the sacred Mask and not his own ordinary human face.” #RobertAntonWilson

@bear_delune Ever since i learned the term “notational agent” i have thought of corporations this way. A #literaryDevice embodied pseudo-entity used to three-card monty away societal accountability.

(turns out the only reference i can find in web search to the term #notationalAgent is #RobertAntonWilson ? well, thanks brain for holding on to it, i guess! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything_Is_Under_Control:_Conspiracies,_Cults_and_Cover-ups )

Fans of Terence McKenna, Robert Anton Wilson, and Philip K. Dick might enjoy this book, which explores their weird (and weirdly similar) experiences in the early 1970s: the McKenna brothers' La Chorrera experiment, Wilson's Chapel Perilous, and PKD's 2-3-74
