Fire on the strings : Roy Smeck plays Tiger Rag

Os oito programas básicos do vencedor

O vencedor biosobrevivente: viverei para sempre, ou morrerei tentanto.

O vencedor emocional-territorial: sou livre; tu és livre; podemos estar na mesma onda ou em ondas separadas.

O vencedor semântico: estou a aprender mais sobre tudo, inclusíve sobre como aprender mais.

O vencedor sócio-sexual: ama, e faz tudo o que te aprouver.

O vencedor neurossomático: a forma como eu me sinto depende do meu conhecimento neurológico.

O vencedor metaprogramador: faço acontecer as minhas próprias coincidências, sincronicidades, sorte e destino.

O vencedor neurogenético: a evolução futura depende das decisões que eu tomar agora.

O vencedor neuroatómico: nos domínios da mente, é verdadeiro tudo aquilo que se julga ser verdadeiro, ou torna-se verdadeiro dentro de limites a serem determinados pela experiência e experimentação.

Sim malta, continuo a ler a pseudociência psicadélica do senhor Robert Anton Wilson e as suas extensões das já por si mirabulantes teorias do Tim Leary. Desta feita é o livro "The Illuminati Papers". Fiquei fascinado depois de ver um documentário sobre o senhor em causa, entitulado "Maybe Logic", e mais ainda depois de ler os rasgados elogios que o seu contemporâneo Philip K. Dick fazia aos seus livros. No illuminati papers, gosto especialmente da forma como ele resume o Aleister Crowley, apresentando a "táctica magika mais elementar" em comparação com as teorias do comportamento do Pavlov: invocação pela repetição.
