More quotes by Robert Anton Wilson
My goal is to try to get people into a state of generalized agnosticism, not agnosticism about God alone, but agnosticism about everything.
Robert Anton Wilson
The rapists of the intellectual world become politicians the seducers become artists.
Robert Anton Wilson

Robert Anton Wilson
Stupidity is like bumping into a wall all the time. After a while you get tired of it and try to look the situation over and see if there’s a doorway somewhere. I think most people eventually do look for the doorway and stop bumping into the wall
Robert Anton Wilson
It is a great privilege to be conscious in this universe. Those who understand, shine like stars.
Robert Anton Wilson
Everybody who has ever worked for a corporation knows that corporations conspire all the time. Politicians conspire all the time, pot-dealers conspire not to get caught by the narcs, the world is full of conspiracies. Conspiracy is natural primate behavior.

Robert Anton Wilson
Creativity has a touch of the bizarre
Robert Anton Wilson

Robert Anton Wilson
The secret to my success has been optimism tempered by anger.
Robert Anton Wilson
A monopoly on the means of communication may define a ruling elite more precisely than the celebrated Marxian formula of monopoly in the means of production.
Robert Anton Wilson
The Constitution admittedly has a few defects and blemishes, but it still seems a hell of a lot better than the system we have now.
Robert Anton Wilson
Taxation is robbery based on monopoly of weapons
Robert Anton Wilson
Intelligence is the capacity to receive, decode and transmit information efficiently. Stupidity is blockage of this process at any point. Bigotry, ideologies etc. block the ability to receive robotic reality-tunnels block the ability to decode or integrate new signals censorship blocks transmission.
Robert Anton Wilson
I regard belief as a form of brain damage.
Robert Anton Wilson
What the thinker thinks, the prover proves.
Robert Anton Wilson
The border between the Real and the Unreal is not fixed, but just marks the last place where rival gangs of shamans fought each other to a standstill.
