The Long Seventies Podcast episode on The Illuminatus! Trilogy Some topics touched: >Exploration of Authoritarianism, Skepticism, and Anti-authoritarian Stance: The discussed band in the book represents authoritarianism, while the author advocates for thorough skepticism and an anti-authoritarian stance. >Exploring Convictions, Rationality, and Cult Dynamics: Convictions can limit openness to new ideas and cult dynamics can restrict followers' intellectual options. >Exploring the Thought Exercise of 'The Illuminatus! Trilogy' and its Discordian Roots: The book serves as a thought exercise synthesizing eccentric ideas influenced by the Discordian movement. >Exploring E Prime and its Connection to Neuro Linguistic Programming: E Prime as a tool to alter thinking and neuro linguistic programming techniques for behavioral conditioning are discussed. >Exploring the Origins of Social Media Platforms and Conspiracy Theories: Origins of social media platforms, their names, and potential conspiracy theories are explored. >Exploring Mythological References and Time Travel in the Book: The incorporation of mythological references and time-traveling storylines blur fiction and non-fiction in the book. >Exploring Mental Habits, Deep Programming, and Brainwashing: The challenge of eliminating mental habits, deep programming, and brainwashing as a real phenomenon are discussed. >Exploring Conspiracy Theories and Alternative Views: The podcast delves into conspiracy theories like the Bavarian Illuminati theory and the conditioning effects of exposure to such theories. >Decentralized Incentives and Societal Problems: Incentives drive behavior in society, with societal issues often stemming from a decentralized web of incentives rather than intentional conspiracies. >Evolution of News Media and Pressure for Immediate Content: The evolution of news media to the 24-hour news cycle has led to a focus on publishing content quickly, sometimes sacrificing accuracy for speed.

Seems to be an interesting book

A take on coming back
Seems the social media giants are committing seppuku. Will the fediverse and Discord be the next wave?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/945125 > Robert Anton Wilson had a profound effect on me as a 19 year old. His books introduced me to Korzybski, and I bought a copy of Science and Sanity to read on my lunch breaks, while I was working as a labourer on farms. It got me interested in maths, and I went to university to study electrical engineering (which Bob also studied) so I could understand the maths in the book. > > A while ago I bought a copy of Trajectories (which can be found on the internet archive https://archive.org/details/chaosbeyondbesto0000wils/mode/2up). I was over joyed to discover that the book contained a personal letter from Bob that was hand signed. I've redacted personal info from it, and although it is a personal letter, I don't think Bob would mind, since he was quite open about his health issues later in his life. > > I love the use of different calendars, highlighting the arbitrariness of time keeping in different cultures.

cross-posted from: https://group.lt/post/46821 > >What he did offer was a very RAW examination of some fundamental Crowley concepts. The assigned texts for the course were Crowley’s Book of Lies and also Book of Thoth. Wilson also had recommended texts like The Widow’s Son and various articles, etc.

>I begin where the Buddha, that master psychologist, began, 25 centuries ago: “All that we are is the result of all that we have thought” (Dammapada, first sentence.) In contemporary and somewhat ironic terms this has been reformulated by Leonard Orr, founder of the Theta Seminars, in the simple proposition that the human mind behaves as if divided into two parts, which Orr calls the Thinker and the Prover. The Thinker can think virtually anything; it can think it is mortal (materialist view) or immortal (theological view) or both mortal and immortal (reincarnation model.) It can think its way into creation of a Christian uni-verse, a Marxist universe, a Nazi universe, a nudist universe, a vegetarian Lesbian universe, etc. ad, infin. The Prover is a much simpler mechanicism and operates on the simple rule: What the Thinker thinks, the Prover proves. If the Thinker decides to become an anti-semite, the Prover will prove that Jews are evil; if the Thinker becomes a Marxist, the Prover will prove that Capitalists are evil; if the Thinker becomes a Womans Liberationist, the Prover will prove that men are evil, etc. and ad. infin. again. Conversely, if the Thinker thinks all people are basically decent really, the Prover will prove that, and if the Thinker decides that holy water from Lourdes will cure its lumbago, the Prover will often prove even that, to the astonishment of medical doctors.

>Most people do not understand how greatly thought influences mankind. Here I want to make a distinction between thinking and thought. The resultant of many acts of thinking becomes the general program called thought, which can be stored in a library or computer or in one’s own brain and then consulted later. Once a thought has been made into a program in that way, you do not have to think it again: you have it in storage. Now, this is a great labor-saving device—all that we see around us as civilization and technology is the result of the thought of past centuries, which we do not have to repeat—but it is also dangerous. If we do not have to think again, if we can just consult old thoughts, then we may become mechanical.

> "Ong's Hat is one of the earliest Internet-based secret history conspiracy theories. It was created as a piece of collaborative fiction by four core individuals, dating back to the 1980s, although the membership propagating the tale changed over time. Ong's Hat is often cited as the first ARG on many lists of alternate reality games. >The characters were largely based in the ghost town of Ong's Hat, New Jersey, hence the name of the project." from [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ong%27s_Hat)
