This book dates from 1972-73, and the man who wrote it does not exist anymore. Even I, occupying the same body that he did, hardly remember him and quite often do not agree with his opinions at all, at all. [ have therefore corrected and updated his ideas in about a hundred places because, frankly, he embarrasses ime at times, especially since we share the same name as well as the same body. Around the time he wrote this book, Robert Anton Wilson had passed the age of 40, lost the rigid right/wrong ideology he had picked up during the anti-war and anti-segregation move- ments of the 1960s and thought he had outgrown the dogmatic follies of his youth, achieving a middle-aged and mellow agnos- sm about everything. Ten years later, as Ronald Regan sat in the White House, Wilson reached 50 and, looking back, felt astonished at how much folly had persisted even in his 40s. As he approached 60 a few years ago, he began to realize that he still had his share of human idiocy even in his 50s. Today at 66+ ' Quoted in Revelation X, translated from the original tongues by the ‘Sub-Genius Foundation, Simon and Shuster, New York, 1994. a2 Preface (beginning to merge with him now), I can only wonder how much of the current Robert Anton Wilson literary output of palaver will embarrass me when I reach 75-80.. Nonetheless, I don’t feel particularly disgraced by another printing of this book. Some of it still makes a lot of sense to me, After corrections, and I see that in the semi-fictionalized “case histories” I have accidentally provided a sort of “ideogrammic” history of the 1960s!—still the most controversial decade of the century, and well worth looking at again, to learn what we can from both its wisdom and its blunders. ‘The major blunder I acquired from the 1960s counterculture was the notion that the Enemy (with a capital E), was ignorance and that this could be cured by education. 1 now feel more inclined to accept R. Buckminster Fuller’s description of the four major problems confronting the world as “ignorance, fear, greed, and zoning laws.” Being untypically brave (like most fools), 1 always underestimated the role of fear in human affairs; having simple desires, 1 underestimated greed; and not being an archi- tect, I never grasped the perfidious nature of zoning laws. Above all, | failed to realize the extent to which the synergy of igno- rance-fear-greed-zoning laws in maintaining the tyranny that Fuller calls MMAO (Machiavelli, Mafia, Atoms and Oil)—the banks, the mob, and the energy cartels.)? ‘My current thinking about MMAO derives from Fuller and, in relation to the topics of this book, even more from the Sub- Genius Foundation of Dallas, TX, which refers to MMAO as “the Con.” ‘Many think the Con is just a joke or a parody of other conspir- acy theories. To such doubters, the Sub-Genius Foundation says that this is “the Time of Pee”—the time foretold, when people would be judged not by works, nor by family, nor even by looks, but by their urine. | "[deogrammic” in this sense means sensory/factual as distinct from abstracUtheoretical. 2 Fuller's ideas on these subjects can be studied in his Critical Path, St Martin's Press, 1981, Grunch of Giants, St. Martin's Press, 1983 and at hup://www-teleport.com/~px4d.grunch.html on the World Wide Web.
