Episode notes

Gawfinkle said his pupils to try and define what reality was. He invented what I known as breaching experiments.

Gawfinkle tried a lot of experiments like that with the upshot that none of his students were sure any more whatreality was.

Guest speaker: Robert Anton Wilson PROGRAM NOTES: Date this lecture was recorded: February 1982 [NOTE: All quotations are by Robert Anton Wilson.] "The belief in certitude, I suspect, is a primate habit." "One thing I want to make absolutely clear is that almost all pessimism results from watching what the government is doing. . . . because the government is the last place that important change is registered. And so if you're looking at the government you're looking at the past." "Certitude only belongs to those people who own just one encyclopedia."
