More quotes by Robert Anton Wilson
Of course I'm crazy, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Robert Anton Wilson
We live in an age of artificial scarcity, maintained by ignorance and fear.
Robert Anton Wilson
Once something becomes discernible, or understandable, we no longer need to repeat it. We can destroy it.
Robert Anton Wilson
The easiest way to get brainwashed is to be born.
Robert Anton Wilson
Since things are moving faster and faster, we cannot afford the amount of stupidity that we used to be able to tolerate.
Robert Anton Wilson
The normal is that which nobody quite is. If you listen to seemingly dull people very closely, you'll see that they're all mad in different and interesting ways, and are merely struggling to hide it.
Robert Anton Wilson
The only way to stave off boredom, in a complex domesticated primate like humankind, is to increase one's intelligence. This is not appealing to the average primate, who instead invents emotional games (soap opera and grand opera dramatics).
Robert Anton Wilson
I regard belief as a form of brain damage.
Robert Anton Wilson
Following Korzybski, I put things in probabilities, not absolutes... My only originality lies in applying this zetetic attitude outside the hardest of the hard sciences, physics, to softer sciences and then to non-sciences like politics, ideology, jury verdicts and, of course, conspiracy theory.
Robert Anton Wilson
Obviously, the faster we process information, the more rich and complex our models or glosses - our reality-tunnels - will become.
Robert Anton Wilson
The only intelligent way to discuss politics is on all fours.
Robert Anton Wilson
Science, incidentally, not only ignores the question of indwelling 'essences' by looking instead at measurable relationships, but science also does not agree that knowledge is obtained through Rothbard's Medieval 'investigation by a reason,' i.e., by inventing definitions and then deducing what your definitions implicitly assumed.
Robert Anton Wilson
I see anarchism as the theoretical ideal to which we are all gradually evolving to a point where everybody can tell the truth to everybody else and nobody can get punished for it. That can only happen without hierarchy and without people having the authority to punish other people.
Robert Anton Wilson
Show me a movement that doesn't hate somebody and I will join it at once.
Robert Anton Wilson
The future is up for grabs. It belongs to any and all who will take the risk and accept the responsibility of consciously creating the future they want.
Robert Anton Wilson
I used to be an atheist, until I realized I had nothing to shout during blowjobs. Oh Random Chance! Oh Random Chance! just doesn't cut it….
Robert Anton Wilson
Certitude belongs exclusively to those who only look in one encyclopedia.
Robert Anton Wilson
Each mans spills the drink he loves.
Robert Anton Wilson
Nobody sees the obvious, nobody observes the ordinary. There are more miracles in a square yard of earth than in all the fables of the Church.
Robert Anton Wilson
Voting wouldn't excite me unless it included electing the directors of the big banks and corporations, who make the real decisions that affect our lives. It's hard to get excited about the trained seals in Washington.
