Erik Davis

quality that you embrace.

In Eric Davis's awesome book, High Weirdness, one of my favorite parts of that book, which is about Terrence McKenna, Robert Anton Wilson, and Philip K. Dick, three people who had a lot of overlap, didn't super know each other, but were vaguely aware of each other, but yet nonetheless seemed to typify this weird experience quality of the 70s in really specific ways.

But there's an incredible chapter where Raw, Robert Anton Wilson is talking with Jacques Vallée and Jacques Vallée basically helps him talk himself out of going crazy.

I mean, more or less, right? Like Raw's having this really destabilized thing and he's getting these messages from Sirius and there's all this stuff.

We didn't have any talking points and that's what's cool.

I feel like we're kind of like exploring ideas right now.

So, but I mean, I think back to what you're describing is like, is it a deep structure within human psychology? Is it a deep structure within the nature of reality that includes both psychology and everything external to it? Um, It seems like this is the kind of Eric Davis high weirdness thing.

The connecting principle is high weirdness.
