RIP Robert Anton Wilson

Anonymous:
LSD seems to suspend the imprinted and conditioned brain circuits that normally control pereption/emotion/thought, allowing a flood -- an ocean -- of new information to break through. The experience will seem either very frightening or exileratingly educational, depending on how rigidly you previously believed your current map contained "all" the universe. Since I learned that no model equals the totallity of experience long before I tried LSD, I never had a bad trip; but I have seen enough anxiety atttacks and downright wig-outs in cases of the naive and dogmatic that I have never favored or advocated LSD's promiscuous use by the general population. As J.R. "Bob'' Dobbs says, "You know how dumb the average citizen is? Well, mathematically, by definition, half of them are even dumber than that."

--Dr. R.A. Wilson, excerpted from "LSD, Dogs, and Me" An article written for a Swiss magazine on the 60th anniversary of the creation of LSD.
