There was some good stuff, but skim through it, for the most part.
Masks of the Illuminati was better.
I've noticed alot of crossover with Prometheus Rising actually, which is helping in the skimming process.
Yeah. Once you can identify the philisophic themes, you can get through it pretty easily.
i printed it off once, read all the way through it on some long railroad trips. actually the ending is pretty funny, in a way too long drawn out dick-joke kind of way.
also i found the second part of the trilogy for cheap in a second hand bookshop, so i read that part twice. i really enjoyed it, in fact. but then again, RAWs writing style doesn't seem to put me off as much as it does with some people around here.
what i remember:
- the RICH economy, that idea was kind of cool, although i didn't quite get how it got off the ground
- something about galactic history and primates, i forgot what it was but it was pretty funny
- some obscure mystical references i didn't quite get
- near the end of part two, a guy, completely stoned, i think he tried throughout the entire book to figure out how one amoeba could become two, and which one would be the original, suddenly realizes something extremely profound about his shower tap: "Hot" + "Cold", H+C, is this some kind of reference to what was said in the Illuminatus, to never trust somebody whose initials are H.C. ? what is that about anyway?
The economics thing I think I have seen printed elsewhere, actually. Minimum national income, GDP shareholders etc etc, apparently they have started to put some of these ideas to practice in Brazil, which will be interesting to watch.
Why do you guys slag him off so much? I never ready any RAW before but this shit is quite entertaining.
Read Illuminatus! and you'll know why.....
Its the Joycian stream of consciousness bullshit that makes me skip pages at a time. I wouldn't pay to read his stuff, certainly...

Yeah gotya - just came across a phonetic mathematical thing - couldn't be arsed deciphering it. Poor guy was doing fine up to there too. Fuck him. Burn his kids and shit through his letterbox.
:-o
:lol:
Yeah. I really don't have the time to search through and decipher every sentence he writes for ulterior meanings and motives. I think I know why he does it, but Leo Strauss proved the idea just as well, and with alot more clarity. Which is a shame, because when RAW does write with clarity in mind, he becomes alot more interesting.

Who Crowley? He talked that way cos he was a twat. An english twat to boot.
oops no i thought you were talking about RAW
Isn't RAW dying last I heard? Like...months left to live or something. His condition got really bad.
Erm, nm, looked it up myself:
From rawilson.com
Here's a quick history of Robert Anton Wilson's scenario. Bob has post-polio syndrome which has severely damaged his legs and weakened his body. He had a hard fall in June of this year which landed him in the hospital. He has since not been able to walk and is thus confined to his bed (overlooking beautiful Monterey Bay fnord), requiring 24 hour care. Due to Bob's acute weakness in June and July, many of his family and friends felt that Bob could go at any time. He has since rallied slowly with up's and down's, and like most things, his condition seems in the maybe state. Bob has no pain, has a hearty appetite, is in steady good, sharp humor and is surrounded by family and friends. Praise Bob! All hail Eris!

hey the poison's working
:evil:
Well I think he's awesome. His novels aside, Wilson has gotten me (personally) interested in so many zany topics I probably wouldn't otherwise have thought were cool. And if that's mind control, I'm happy to be his robot mind slave, spouting his memes, crapping around, all that jazz
