Robert Anton Wilson is sick and in danger of being evicted, according to his friend
Douglass Rushkoff. There's a paypal link and a direct address for checks and more information on Boingboing, etc.
I've just been rereading Wilson's
Illuminatus Trilogy, which is as powerful a manual for middle management as "Who moved my cheese" and "7 habits" and all those other books. Robert Anton Wilson is up there with Gurdjeiff, Crowley, Huxley, Kesey, Ensler (okay I'm just trollbaiting now)... He's the reason I dropped out of college, and the reason I think that's a good thing, and the reason I understand politics...
If you don't know who these people are, you may not care, after all, what's one more homeless decrepit once-upon-a-time-1960's-visionary in Santa Cruz, and that's okay. This is for the some of you who do. And for reference, Douglas Rushkoff is the writer of
Testament , which I'm quite liking and keep meaning to write about for Brandon.
