40 years ago today, I finally got my hands on the final volume of the Illuminatus! trilogy and read it. Like the authors, I knew that half of it was BS, but I wasn’t sure exactly which half. One part that was true was that it programmed me in ways that weren’t obvious for months or even years, and unlike W.C. Fields and the woman who drove him to drink, I thanked the authors for it.

The last days of Robert Anton Wilson
During this period, whenever Bob emailed anyone, he’d cc: it to John Poindexter, then head of the notorious Information Awareness Office, a defense agency overseeing the government’s domestic surveillance program, which was ramped up in the aftermath of 9/11 hysteria. To this end, Bob figured that by sending his email messages directly to Poindexter it would, in turn, eliminate the need for anyone to maintain surveillance on him, thus eliminating a paid position and cutting down on government waste and maybe even lowering our taxes. “Besides,” Bob added, “It amuses me to think of Poindexter reading my emails.”
Thanx to RAW Illumination.

On this date in 1776, the Ancient Illuminated Seers of Bavaria began. Or that's what they want you to believe.

Thanx to [livejournal.com profile] sturgeonslawyer for the reminder.

I think it's incredibly appropriate that we can't find the editor who originally bought Illuminatus!

Thanx to RAWIllumination, of course.
