Episode notes

The Psychedelic Salon is pleased to present a talk by Robert Anton Wilson. This lecture was given 35 years ago this month, but the sound quality isn't quite up to today's standards. The lecture begins with Wilson putting labels on various US presidents and my guess is that you'll want to extend these interesting presidential titles onward from 1982. One can only imagine what word he would hang on the current resident of the White House.

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."
