The Unauthorized Biography

[Iron Sulfide]

Prof Cram suggested i take an idea farther than an idea,
so here's the idea:


for those who actually liked (or even hated) Robert Anton Wilson's work,
i propose a Biography of him be created. completely erroneous.

but here's the kick. there needs to be loads and loads of contradiction,
or maybe even "opposing" biographies. The entire point being that if
anything whatsoever is to be saved of his work, anything even remotely worthy of
redemption, we have to obliterate anyone's future attempt at hero-worshipping him.

Kind of like what BIP is supposed to be doing for the PD, or like christians did (i assume) to the historical Rabbi Jeshua (Iseus/Jesu(s)).

i mean, we've already seen what can happen to the fringe of the fringe (i mean the inside fringe that borders "normal" thought and behaviours, as found acceptable in Article 345, s.s. 3 paragraph 9 of the Manual)...hero worship for thornley and hill. that missed the point, and they would be very ashamed of you.

which, i assume for others (it's certainly the case with me) is why we tend to THRASH the SENSES of people mindlessly posting 23skidoopenialgland bullshit.
cry havoc, and lose the dogma war!

as of now, i have to slave for the man for the next 9 hours, so i'm going to go do that.

any ideas or false-facts about RAW will be greatly appreciated.

If you twisted RAWs head through 1081 degrees, the moon would explode.

Still don't like him that much though.

[hunter s.durden]

Get 20 people to write a chapter each, without referencing what the other is writing.
Then compile it.

[Iron Sulfide]

i like the second idea better

[Payne]

The second idea was also more serious... Srsly.

[Iron Sulfide]

and you happen to not like RAW.

go figure. maybe hunter doesn't, either. i don't give a shit.

if it's a rare thing these days, i like RAW anyway.

fuck you, i like the bible, too. and if i can lead christians further
away from all the literal bullshit with it, i feel that much better.
rampant apostacy, IRL.

it'll probably be something i flake on, anyway.

I are re-reading the bible  . Fuck God, and Fuck RAW.

I'll still write a chapter for his bio, though. Just don't expect a glowing report...

RAW once headbutted a yak.




The yak died instantly.

A yak is the only animal that can spell it's name

Prater Fest -- I have yet to read any RAW, actually. I fully intend to, and I will get back to you. I will most likely like it, since I tend to be rather generous toward the printed word. If that made sense.

I also dig Hunter's idea of everyone doing different chapters without consulting each other. I would be happy to write a chapter, even though I haven't read any RAW. That may actually make me more qualified; I cannot say.

[hunter s.durden]

I was saying that would be a fun, chaotic mess of bullshit.
Everyone just writes about RAWs life without consulting each other, so there'd be contradictions and absurdity.

As for my personal feelings on him: I like his articles, and various quotes from his website. I never read his books, and I don't worship him. He was a cool guy with some fun ideas.
By the by, I have similar feeling about the bible. I constantly use my "Mask of Christianity" spell to straighten out confused people.

it is a wise warrior who uses their enemies own bullshit to baffle them

[hunter s.durden]

Aye.
I was heavy in it, so my knowledge is deep.

But I think that goes for most of these back-slidden fucks.

Robert Anton Wilson was born January 13th, 1932, in Brooklyn, New York. His parents were Jewish; his father, Sam Wilson, was a garment worker and his mother, Rachel Molly Gruber, was a housewife. Robert was named in honor of Rachel's biological mother, Roberta, "the mother she never knew", in Wilson's words. Wilson graduated from Rahway High School in New Jersey in 1951. He attended the University of Chicago, where he received a bachelor's degree (1955) and a master's degree (1956) in physics, before earning his doctorate (1960) in astronomy and astrophysics. During his time as an undergraduate, Wilson spent some time working in the laboratory of the geneticist H. J. Muller. From 1962 to 1968, he worked at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Wilson lectured annually at Harvard University until 1968, when he moved to Cornell University. He became a full professor at Cornell in 1971 and directed the Laboratory for Planetary Studies there. From 1972 to 1981 he was Associate Director of the Center for Radio Physics and Space Research at Cornell.





that's all actually about Carl Sagan.

[Payne]

that's all actually about Carl Sagan.

Carl Sagan was named after a lost mother called Roberta?

That is seriously cool....
