Schoedinger's Cat Trilogy
Rob called Wilson's Quantum Psychology, "Shit Psychology." I guess Luke would've agreed with Rob, had he read it. Maybe Irishmen who stayed in Ireland don't get along with Irishmen who left for the US.
Wilson prefigured Rob's argument in 1979, when he published the Schoedinger's Cat Trilogy, a rehashing of many of the same psychedelic visions Timothy Leary wrote up in Neuropolitique and Infopsychology or whatever that book was. Wilson reasoned humans descended from primates, primates throw shit to show displeasure or spread shit to mark their territory, and humans use of shit metaphors hark back to such earlier concrete uses of the substance.
Rob, as an ape, attacks Wilson, as a primate, throwing shit on Wilson's Quantum Psychology.
I seemed to have quantum mechanical trouble today, not sure whether an email had ever left my mind. One of the eigenselves entered multiverse with no money. Other attributes: no poverty, no property. Another entered multiverse with no money. Other attributes: that eigenself lived as a slave at the bottom of a Phonecian vessel carrying oxen for trade. Another entered multiverse with no quantum mechanics.
