Robert Anton Wilson & Quantum Physics: An Interview on the New Thinking Allowed show

I was interviewed by the great Jeffrey Mishlove about the life & thought crimes of Robert Anton Wilson

I have such clear distinct memories of watching Jeffrey Mishlove interview people like Robert Anton Wilson, John C. Lilly, Terrence McKenna, and so many other influential thinkers. Pre-YouTube days, the only way to watch Mishlove’s original “New Thinking Allowed” show was to search out VHS tapes from various inter-library loan programs. Tracking down and watching as many episodes of “Thinking Allowed” as possible became a part-time obsession at one point. But today, the internet makes it easier than ever to watch this amazing show, and if you haven’t already tuned into “The New Thinking Allowed” YouTube channel, then get hip. There is a reason why Geoge Carlin once bought a VHS copy of nearly every episode. In a time of increasing internet enshitification, Jeffrey Mishlove and his team at “The New Thinking Allowed” sit upon a sacred mountain of knowledge. His mind is razor sharp and his heart is warm, Jeffrey Mishlove is a treasure to the world. I’m so very happy that he was kind enough to speak with me for my book Chapel Perilous: The Life & Thought Crimes of Robert Anton Wilson and I’m even more thrilled to be interviewed by such a thoughtful person.

In this interview, I tell Jeffrey about the role Saul-Paul Sirag, the particle physicist, played in mentoring Wilson in Quantum Entanglement back in the mid-70s. The lessons were so well received by Wilson that he became the first(!) popular non-fiction writer to correctly relay information about the early 1970s experiments from John Clauser and Alain Aspect that eventually earned them Nobel Prize’s 30 years later! Wilson was an “early warning radar system,” and this interview proves why his work remains absolutely vital today.
