Robert Anton Wilson

This video is a special release from the original Thinking Allowed series that ran on public television from 1986 until 2002. It was recorded in about 1990. It will remain public for only one week. 

Robert Anton Wilson is a humorist, novelist, guerilla ontologist and futurist psychologist. He is author of twenty-six books including the classic Illuminatus Trilogy, the Schrodinger’s Cat Trilogy, The Cosmic Trigger, Coincidance, Prometheus Rising, Ishtar Rising, Masks of the Illuminati, Wilhelm Reich in Hell, Quantum Psychology and Reality is What You Can Get Away With.

Here he discusses the parallel universe hypothesis of quantum physics and its implications for literature and psychology. He discusses the history of conspiracies and defends his interest in subjects that are considered most taboo by society at large. He concludes by reflecting on the taoist wisdom embodied in the old Kung Fu television series.
