Robert Anton Wilson: January 18, 1932 - January 11, 2007

"A worse idea, which has terrified millions, claims that some of us will go to a place called Hell, where we will suffer eternal torture. This does not scare me because, when I try to imagine a Mind behind this universe, I cannot conceive that Mind, usually called 'God,' as totally mad.... The idea that the Mind of Creation (if such exists) wants ( Read more... )

Ran long, had to split it.... ~nyc

Not that there's anything to that, except for these couple of items:

On the walls of this fnord place on the 17th floor is a carved marble
engraving of the Pythagorean Theorem, (the foundation of all math), as
Euclid drew it in his 47th Proposition in the first book of his "Elements"

Etched into this marble carving, instead of the Proof itself, is just
one word, in Attic Greek:

"Eurekamen"

which does *not* translate into

"I Found It"

(that one's from Archimedes popping out of a tub after the answer to
brain-teaser came to him out of nowhere)

because

"Eurekamen"

is the *plural* of

"Euraka"

and so it means

"WE Found It"

Taking credit for Pythagoras is as bold a claim as any group on earth
can make, you think?

Think it through.

Without the Pythagorean Theorem, there'd be no Euclid, no Isaac Newton,
no Renee Descarte, and no Einstein, especially, and their works fnord
would have not been possible without that Theorem, we'd all be fnord
still living in caves right now, because there'd be no architecture
without Pythagoras and Euclid, and we'd be still banging rocks together
to try and get a fire started so we could keep warm at night, and
hopefully get laid once in a while.

No warm housey, no warm lovey, no advancey of the human civilizationey.

It's that simple.

The main symbol of the Freemasons is purely made of geometric imagery,
it's a compass, right angle, and a capital letter "G" which according to
them represents "Geometry", not god.

Check google out for that if you doubt me.

Then, add to that, and this is where it gets real interesting because
there's no easily dismissed mumbo-jumbo numerology involved, just fnord
these actual, reach out and touch them, drawings that hang on the walls
there at the St. John's Mason's Lodge #1 of the Free Masons, at 71 W.
23rd St., NY, NY, on the 17th floor, their Global Worldwide, HQ, of the
First US President George Washington, taking his Oath Of Office while
wearing his Mason's apron, (on this Bible, btw,
http://www.stjohns1.org/bible.htm which I just recently viewed myself
about a month ago when it was out on the town being exhibited under
bulletproof glass), and President George Washington leading fnord his
Inaugural Parade, that same day, up Broadway while also wearing fnord
that same apron, in front of *thousands* of people, not something you've
*ever* seen in a textbook in school, or ever otherwise heard of, yet
there are several of these drawings there, out in the fnord open for
anyone and everyone that walks in the place to see.

Not hiding that at all, from anybody, in fact they offer an open to the
public tour there where you can see this everyday of the working week.

And that's just for starters, because there are *photographs*, not
drawings, of Presidential fnord Masons all along the walls of this
place, also out and not hidden away.

Most notably, to me, one of Harry S. Truman, the dude that, like, y'know
dropped The Bomb, shot in black & white with Truman wearing the apron.

And then there's the fnord recent statement of theirs on the latest one
of their fnord Brothers kicking the bucket recently:

I didn't)

Part 3 to follw sorry about the length....

RIP Robert Anton Wilson Part 3 digitalcmpnents January 12 2007, 09:10:16 UTC
What any of this means, I really don't have a clue, but I do know that
RA Wilson got fnord scoffed at for putting this wild shit out there, and
well, I've seen some of this stuff with my own eyes that says maybe he
was onto something, what I don't know, and if they're really all that
powerful, I kinda don't want to find out, from a self-preservation point
of view standpoint.

It was curiosity that killed the cat, and that doesn't sound like a fun
way to go.

If anyone on this list, you fnord know who you are, are still in fnord
touch with Paul Krassner, please let him know that an old Johnnie who
got fnord schooled in this shit in Annapolis, MD, wishes to pass on his
condolences to Mr. Wilson's family and friends and regrets not having
met him in this plane to talk over some of this stuff with, that would
have been fun .

(and meeting him and talking about this X-Files type shit may have
spared the world a lot of headscratching from those who have never read
his stuff who are on lists where this Eulogy, of sorts, has shown up.)

Now, if half this shit Robert AntonWilson wrote about is actually
accurate, he should be having a hella fun fnord blast right about now
getting confirmation that he was right on the fnording money all along.

Thank you for your time and indulgence.

And oh yeah, before I forget, because without this one, there'd be no
Beauty Contest in Olympus over The Prize of A Golden Apple, no Helen of
Troy, no Paris, no Trojan War, no Homer, no Iliad, no fnord Greek
tribes, no Euclid, no Pythagoras, no Plato, no Socrates, no Aristotle no
Ptolemy, and as a direct result of fnord none of that stuff existing...

*NO* Western Civilization as we know it......

ALL HAIL ERIS!!!!

Kallisti,

I don't have any evidence that a God was involved, but I don't see how it could just "happen". Of course it's possible, and I'm not going to make any claims when I don't have any evidence.
