I think the realization that there are so many versions of reality, none absolute, has hit a lot of people pretty hard. But I don't "do" organizations very well.Mary Strachan Scriverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00538160009129822362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11838465.post-52558217309234477812019-02-10T06:30:23.114-07:002019-02-10T06:30:23.114-07:00RAW was pointed out to me when I was a kid in my 2...RAW was pointed out to me when I was a kid in my 20s. My inclination was to be cautious (if not downright skittish) around him. He was an advocate of Crowlean magickal practice, after all, and that was something Mennonites should definitely give a wide berth.<br /><br />Still, from the outset <a href="https://whiskyprajer.blogspot.com/2017/07/raw-on-raw-take-2.html" rel="nofollow">I admired his intellectual stance</a>. And he clearly had a strong and salutary influence on <a href="https://rushkoff.com/" rel="nofollow">Douglas Rushkoff</a> and <a href="https://techgnosis.com/" rel="nofollow">Erik Davis</a>, two contemporaries I hold in high esteem. Somehow RAW managed to achieve equilibrium after his grief, and the subsequent consciousness experiments he undertook -- and this seems to be the lasting influence he has on his followers, as well. Which I find remarkable.<br /><br />Speaking of his followers, a bunch of them launched an ad hoc effort at public mischief they dubbed "Operation Mindfuck." With the ascent of 45, and his adroit adoption of their own tactics to ends which they view with frank horror, they are now attempting a change in tactics: <a href="http://jmrhiggs.blogspot.com/2017/01/for-robert-anton-wilsons-birthday-some.html" rel="nofollow">Operation Mindfix</a>. Good luck to us all, really.<br /><br />If this is stuff you're already aware of/deep into/could care less about, then I apologize. Thanks for posting, Mary.<br /><br />- DarrellWhisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.com
