Robert Anton Wilson

I do enjoy a bit of 'RAW' now and again.
This is a talk he gave in 1988 on the arrogance of classical science and its dumb dependence on materialistic logic and either/or thinking despite the avalanche of paradoxes generated by quantum mechanics.
Wilson is a bit of an intellectual anarchist and polymath, he loves the odd puzzles, synchronicity's, ironies and conspiracy theories that illustrate and highlight the essential weirdness and mystery of human life.
He's most famous for being the co-author of 'The Illuminatus Trilogy', that testament to the almost perverse ability of the human mind to find sinister and/or interesting relationships between the most unlikely and disparate of phenomena - animal, vegetable and mineral.
Here he talks of the materialistic 'reality tunnel' thinking that led to the burning of Wilhelm Reich's books, the incarceration of Timothy Leary, the Celtic legend of the giant Bunny, the 3 interpretations of quantum theory and lots of other stuff.
Entertaining and funny too, but underneath the sarcasm there's a clever mind with some interesting insights into the pantomime of existence.
