Bad trips and conspiracy theories that were once jokes have now been embraced by millions. People believe in wild ideas like the Biden crime family being connected to the Rothschild lizard people. Even members of Congress are full-on tinfoil hat believers. But can we learn from Bob's lessons? Was Operation Mindfuck a mistake? These questions arise as silly ideas are now embraced by the right, with Donald Trump being the closest thing to a discordian. Doubts about birth certificates and videotapes linger.
Author of Chapel Perilous: The Life and Thought Crimes of Robert Anton Wilson Gabriel Kennedy walks us through the Chapel Perilous and reminds us how important and essential Wilson’s work is in a world on the brink of conspiratorial madness.
🎙️In his monologue, Rushkoff discusses how Robert Anton Wilson modeled uncertainty as a form of play and the long-term implications of Operation Mindfuck.
