Backstage, I met Robert Rance on Wilson and was surprised to see him smoking cigarettes. He confides in me about his stage fright and how he copes with it. Despite his fame, he was abused in his childhood, which left lasting imprints. However, he has managed to heal himself through unconventional methods like acid, magic, and reading Nietzsche. Interestingly, recent medical studies are supporting the benefits of LSD for depression and anxiety.
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.
