Video: Robert Anton Wilson on B.S (Belief Systems) or … Bull Shit
40’s, single, no kids, is very opinionated and outspoken and concentrates on her career. Ann Coulter is the biggest example of a feminist I ever saw.
Leary on Evolution
Nothing is more powerful, than an idea, whose time, has come.
Robert Anton Wilson says: Ben Mack’s PWC’s reads like taking acid, only you never come down.
My Dearest Ben,
May this letter of introduction serve you well. You speak the truth. This is likely to make you virtually unpublishable.
To whom it may concern,
If something happens to me and I die suddenly, I want you to know of the extraordinary importance of a novel I just
finished reading, POKER WITHOUT CARDS.
Ben Mack is at the bleeding edge of avant-garde fiction. Just amazing!
Memetics, Shannon & Fuller woven into a novel. Just add Internet and you’ve got the major themes of my next book.
Reading POKER WITHOUT CARDS is like reading a young Bucky, world politics are explained in a way not previously
visible, but once viewed, cannot be seen any other way. Ben Mack wrote a consciousness thriller, combining natural philosophy with storytelling—the effect is like taking acid, only you never come down.
Sincerely,
Robert Anton Wilson
From Ben Mack’s book availible for free here… Poker Without Cards. A 23 dollar value on Amazon.com and Lulu press, get it while it lasts at no cost.
In other words, because we can say “the Jews,” or “the New World Order,” or “the patriarchy,”we can believe, or almost believe, that these grammatical abstractions have the same kind of reality as basketballs, barking dogs, and baked beans. Individuals, with all their hair and fingernails and ideals and delusions and funky smells, disappear, as it were, and the world becomes haunted by collective nouns.

Solar now cheaper than coal!
From: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2007/dec/29/solarpower.renewableenergy
“Figures released yesterday by the Earth Policy Institute in Washington showed that solar electricity generation was now the fastest-growing electricity source, doubling its output every two years. It is now attracting government and venture capital money on an unprecedented scale.”
“This is the world’s lowest-cost solar panel, which we believe will make us the first solar manufacturer capable of profitably selling solar panels at as little as 99 cents a watt,” said Roscheisen yesterday.”
PopSci awarded nanosolar as the most innovative product of 2007.

Further, these exponential doubling trends not only occur in solar/renewables, but hard drive storage and compression technology, computer processing speed, LED lighting, etc…
…known resources” are not given by nature; they depend on the analytical capacities of the human mind. We can never know how many resources can be obtained from a cubic foot of the universe: all we know is how much we have found thus far, at a given date. You can starve in the middle of a field of wheat if your mind hasn’t identified wheat as edible. Real Wealth results from Real Knowledge, which is increasing faster all the time. - Robert Anton Wilson.
