Cain contra Robert Anton Wilson

[AFK]

As has been pointed out to me in the past, I'm not sure pairing Discordian with "should" is safe ground to tread. 

I've never read the trilogy myself, and I have no interest in it, but I wouldn't begrudge someone else who does.  It's not an either/or proposition here.  One can look to the past and the future simultaneously.  Sharing stories of old is important to any culture, and I think that can pertain to internet cultures as well.  I mean, there has to be some kind of bedrock and foundation that loosely unites us, right?  Cause generally, in just about every other way, we all seem to be very, very different people.

Meh. "Should be coming up with our own ideas, right?"

I just finished reading I!3 and started on Prometheus Rising, and I'm noticing a very peculiar thing: something in my mind has learned to outright refuse to believe anything this man writes. On the one hand it's cool because I find myself actually considering every thing he mentions and considering the possibility that the sources he mentions don't exists... On the other hand it's annoying because I can't take anything seriously.
But I think that some experiment in Illuminatus really worked for me.

the one exercise in prometheus rising where you pretend to be a nazi (among other things) for three minutes can be fun--until mom grounds ya for invading her liquor cabinets.

I think RAW would love the fact you don't trust him-- but do the experiments anyway.

The fact that you don't believe him is a good start. You should question his sources. That's the point, you should feel the same way about every other author.

Illuminatus is intentionally absurd. Prometheus Rising, Cosmic Trigger etc are less so, but RAW's intent is to force you to question him... and everything else.

Quick question, are the books Prometheus Rising and Cosmic Trigger worthwhile to read?  I ask because I already have a list of books I want/have to read and I would rather not add more to it for no good reason.

I'm reading Prometheus Rising right now and it's excellent, definitely recommended. Very interesting model of the mind, with practical exercizes and comparisons to other psychological models.
