The subject of general semantics is but one of numerous within Quantum Psychology, though general semantics has received more focus in this thread because the free excerpt I posted from Wilson's website just happened to be the chapter on e-prime. The one may not make complete sense to you without the others, if it ever makes sense at all.

To further facilitate your understanding I was about to post the entire work in portable document format (PDF), but by chance clicked on the link of the same name in the good bsbray11's signature (above) and found the title removed from scribd.com at the request of the Robert Anton Wilson Estate, so I'd better not. If you're interested enough, you can still find it out there, somewhere, without having to buy it.

Wow, thanks for bringing that to my attention.

With all due respect, the RAW Estate is not RAW himself. I can't imagine the man would be opposed to free expression of his ideas, and if he would be, well, he's open-minded enough to find a way to console himself, I'm sure.


No problem.

Toward the very end of his life Wilson was in financial difficulty and was unable to pay some of his medical bills for Post-polio syndrome without the generous donations of his readers. His books just weren't making enough any more to cover them. So I can understand where his estate is coming from by requesting the removal of his works, even though Wilson is now late.

However! And, my good man, how there had damn well ought to be a "however!" General Wilson's last message to us all (5 days before his death) reads exactly as follows:

DO NOT GO GENTLY INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT

Various medical authorities swarm in and out of here predicting I have between two days and two months to live. I think they are guessing. I remain cheerful and unimpressed. I look forward without dogmatic optimism but without dread. I love you all and I deeply implore you to keep the lasagna flying.

Please pardon my levity, I don't see how to take death seriously. It seems absurd.

RAW


“To keep the lasagna flying.” Deeply implored. And what better tools to assist in that are there than Prometheus Rising and Quantum Psychology? I may petition his estate for leniency in the free distribution of these two titles alone, due to the importance of what is written inside them, and the beneficial results arising from their reading, upon the reader, and, subsequently, upon our entire species as a whole (eventually).


Edit: Quantum Psychology is now working again in my signature and Prometheus Rising will also be working again shortly. They're hosted on ATS for the moment being. If/when they go down again, I'll just move them somewhere else.

Quantum Psychology PDF


Thank you for doing that. I think Wilson would've supported you. I support you, even if nobody else does.

Take a read, ladies and gentlemen, whilst thy can still! Even in the book shops, his titles seem to slowly be getting harder and harder to find.
