Robert Anton Wilson Moves On



Robert Anton Wilson has passed from this world and has been enfolded back into the implicate order from which he came.

I cannot say enough how much this man has meant to me in my life. I am so gratified that he left this world knowing how deeply he was loved and how much he touched the world community at large. Recently, as I posted on this blog, a call was made for donations to help him pass from this world with dignity and within his own home. Not only did I donate but so did tens of thousands of others on the Internet. The outpouring of love that came from that simple request touched him deeply at a time when he was feeling somehwat forgotten and alone.

In my personal opinion Robert Anton Wilson is the single greatest philosopher of the past century. He has done so much to bring a form of enlightenment to humanity in a time when mankind often remains trapped in all manner of fundamentalist reality tunnels.

It is with deep affection that I note his passing and I hope he finds his continued presence within the implicate order of infinite possibility, that is Universe, a liberating playground for his nimble mind.

Planetside Screenshots

I realize that this post is going to cause some Web-Wiplash, but I think that is ok. For years I have held onto some old Planetside screenshots that I wanted to post online some day. After scouring an old hard drive yesterday these are the ones I came up with. Still, I know I am missing many of the screenshots I really wanted to keep. Especially ones from when the game was very early in development. I designed the entire client side game engine myself and I had a lot of fun during the development process. One of my regrets is that, in many respects, the final game did not look nearly as visually impressive as it did at certain points during development. There were a number of reasons for this. One was from a technology stand point. Most developers of an MMO game engine might assume it would be reasonable to stream data in as a player moved around the environment. That was certainly my original design. However, once the game got into heavy beta testing there was a strong push to get eve...

Just now who's crazy?

Just a follow-up to yesterday's post about Dr. Steven Greer and his paranoid fantasies. One of Greer's most popular paranoid fantasies is that there is a secret cabal, comprising members of government, industry, and religious leaders, who suffer from eschatological delusions and are co-ordinating a massive world-wide effort to bring about the 'end-times'. Sound's pretty nuts doesn't it? I think so to. I don't buy into paranoid conspiracy theories because they are based, not on evidence but, rather, the *lack* of evidence. Dr. Greer's theories include the idea that 9-11 was actually executed by this secret cabal and that a missile, not an airplane, struck the Pentagon (I guess I should go tell the families of those poor folks who were on the plane that hit the Pentagon about that..) In fact, I find these kinds of bizarre paranoid conspiracy theories dangerous, destructive, and borderline treasonous. The Internet may be a powerful tool to spread truth...
