DVD Reviews of Robert Anton Wilson - Maybe Logic
DVD Review: Gambles and Risks
Summary: 4 Stars
Robert Anton Wilson believed that there is no meaning in life; that meaning is in sentences. As a result, all perceptions are considered gambles: we believe what we see and then we believe our interpretations to be reality, not realizing that our interpretations are just interpretations. So we all perceive the world from the point of view of our individual "reality tunnels," and there is no vantage point from which "real" reality can be seen. Once one realizes that everyone else is looking through their own reality tunnel or grid or focus, it is easier to empathize, understand, and even forgive others. And if we are willing and able to tune in and listen, non-judgmentally, to other perceptions, we may learn something interesting about our world.
This DVD is well-produced and well worth watching for the compelling ideas and the humor of a man who challenged traditional Aristolian "either/or, yes/no" notions of logic (in favor of the "maybe logic" of quantum mechanics) and who refused to let his intellect and emotions be usurped by ideological dogma.
What I found particularly interesting, though, was Douglas Rushkoff's take on the element of danger inherent in R. Wilson's philosophy: "The biggest thing I got from Bob is that all of our reality constructs are models. All of them are approximations, are metaphors, are allegories for what's going on, and that we live in a world where we are all negotiating on behalf of our stories. We each create a story, a narrative, a picture, an allegory, a model for what's going on here and then we fight, sometimes to the death, to make others, if not believe in that model, we fight to be able to keep believing in it ourselves. So we try to erase contradictory evidence to that model. But it also becomes [to the point] where I end up parting ways philosophically with him, too. I get the feeling that Bob is not just _aspiritual_, but that he's _anti-spiritual_. He doesn't believe in God or Spirit or a special super-reality connecting us all--because it's not there, because it's not evident, because it's not apparent. And I feel in a way like Bob's world view, having passed through The Chapel Perilous of Wonder, that his view now is that, 'Well, there's nothing. This is it. Period.' As far as I'm concerned, the idea that there's nothing is just another, What if? It's the skeptic in _Cosmic Trigger_. It's the skeptic's world view. But it's just a world view. And I don't think it's any intrinsically _safer_."
