re: #88 Standard, Yet Pretty

Yes, he got tired of satirizing religious fundamentalists and started satirizing ‘materialists’. I think he was either genuinely somewhat crazy or just had done shitloads of acid.

But the Illuminatus! trilogy is still freaking hilarious.

And when you get down into when he appears to be being serious, he’s non-controversial.

Scientific generalizations which have lasted a long time have high probability, perhaps the highest probability of any generalizations, but it is only Idolatry which claims none of them will ever again have to be revised or rejected. Too many have been revised or rejected in this century alone.

Just a little shallow, because no scientists participate in that form of idolatry.

A deeply strange human being, but a very lively and provoking one.
