Title: Robert Anton Wilson Stand-Up
Post by: Cramulus on April 03, 2020, 06:54:35 PM
A classic discordian work: a stand-up set by Robert Anton Wilson.

Wilson's stage routine shares chords with George Carlin - he's funny, but he's also got a point to make.

This performance also explains Discordianism and ordains its viewers as Discordian Popes.

Cracking It open now.  The audio quality is terrible, but I can't wait to hear what he says.  If he starts by explaining what immaculate conception means it's Gotta be good!

I'm still listening in pieces. It's brilliant! he kinda reminds me of Yoda visually for some reason.

Because I don't have anywhere else good to drop it -- here's a compare/contrast of Illuminatus! and Atlas Shrugged:
