Robert Anton Wilson on Conspiracy Theories

[WorshipInTruth]

Jesuits, the freemasons, the jews, bilderbergers, the Council on Foreign Relations, myself, my parents......... I blame all of the above.

[Seveen1]

Speaking of schools not teching their children why has the lie of Franklin inventing electricity still being taught to our children when their is proof that ancient Egypt had batteries, lighting rods and much more. Fact of the matter is lies about creation, our heritage and every other part of life is being taught and presented to us that our modern society invented it all when clearly that's not the case.

[wewillrcku]

@Seveen1 Maybe because Franklin invented electricity -as we know it-.

[Seveen1]

@wewillrcku So then it's okay to know a truth, produce a lie and then present it to the unknowing as a truth? No wonder people get made, their treated like their stupid and then made stupid atop of that.

[MrGSmith129]

@Seveen1 his whole point is that you can't be "made stupid" by someone else. If you are stupid, it's your own fault!

[Seveen1]

@MrGSmith129 Your perception off. Tell me are people in our schools stupid to the secrets of the world or is that their fault. I guess the stupid mistake was going to those schools in the first place.

[MrGSmith129]

@Seveen1 Why do you take that tone with me? Like you think I'm trying to pick a fight with you? Now I remember why I don't interact with people on YouTube. Just never mind....

[MrGSmith129]

@wewillrcku Seveen1 is correct. Franklin did not "invent" electricity, he re-discovered it.

[MacHamish]

I wish his vid on youtube had less if not NO stupid background effects and music.

[RevFaris]

This is from the documentary "MAYBE LOGIC". I think this is easy enough to understand in it's own right (I have read some of his books however), but perhaps if it seems odd, get out the documentary.

Some people think they can hear 3 minutes of a video and understand someone who wrote over 30 books.

My experience with many conspiracy theorists is that they are very to anger, but care a great deal about the world.

[RevFaris]

My experience with many conspiracy theorists is that they are very (quick) to anger, but care a great deal about the world.

[MrGSmith129]

@RevFaris being concerned about the world is not a bad thing, but the "quick to anger" thing usually crops up when you challenge their theories.

[Shrunkenhead61]

Blame me for blaming someone else not to take action?

Making your own reality? Isn't that brainwashing yourself? Ego?

What happened to we are all one? Aren't we suppose to learn off each other?

YouTube has A LOT of garbage on it.

[Visc0us1488]

This dude is one of the dumbest jackoffs ive ever seen

[illu322]

He does not deny conspiracies, and says that they do exist. But a great amount of conspiracy theorists are in a state of paranoia. So my advice is always question yourselves.

[kabumbi]

Cinematic Orchestra, nice.

[TSMPimpDaddyPain]

So let me get this straight....no powerful elite exists, and making an accusation of a conspiratorial crime with evidence to back it up, is "blaming someone else for our own problems".

This man is a complete fool.

[Aethah121]

@TSMPimpDaddyPain You seem to have missed his point. The power elite is a 'state of mind'. If you keep convincing yourself that it will always be someone else then that's the way it will always be. It's all about the power of one's mind and not giving it away by fearing others. Also if you listen to him carefully, you would have noticed that the "blaming someone else for our own problems" is just ONE reason. Unfortunatly, this is true for a number of people in conspiracy theorists, but not all.

[TSMPimpDaddyPain]

@Aethah121 I will agree that being fearful of it is a waste of time because there isn't anything one person can do about it.

However, it's perfectly reasonable to be suspicious of secret societies whose members are some of the richest people in the world and are in some of the highest levels of governments.

[Aethah121]

@TSMPimpDaddyPain Three reason's RAW brings up: 1:'blaming someone else for your own problem' - I've seen this attitude in people who feel like failers in society, and blame society for not understanding them, so they take comfort in Conspiracy Theories to make sense of why this world doesnt work right for them. 2:'The acceration of information/change' - You see this alot in far right Christian types who get easily confused by socitial/economic change and blame everything on "Satanic forces".

[Aethah121]

@TSMPimpDaddyPain 'continued'...... 3:'There are lots of conspiricies' - i agree, i just dont believe in this one grand monotheistic conspiracy. As RAW also pointed out one time 'conspiracy is just natural primate behaviour' in most Humans.

[0Oclockmusic]

YES!!!! THANK YOU!!! Those powerful fucks (secret societies) WILL undo each other because they are intrinsically self-destructive. And this will keep on until the whole of humanity realizes that greed, selfishness, etc. will NOT help you as an individual because NO MAN IS AN ISLAND!!! We help ourselves ONLY when we help each other. No need for paranoia over conspiracy theories. The world won't end because we create our reality and we're here until we get it right. PEace!

[trakkaton]

RAW is far too much of a humorist, an anarchist, a poet and a philosopher for his words to be taken literally.

[Idolcruisefix]

@trakkaton, nothing should be taken litterally, it should just be taken, what you do after absorbing it is up to you. ie hitler says, "they took our land and made us into pesants, all i am asking is for some of it back" or some such crap, or he says "we kill the infedel!" should either be taken litterally? or should they be taken with a grain of salt? so one can see things, rather then blindly believe them?

[loccysmif]

It seems to me that Wilson's superiority complex impairs his judgment. The logical fallacy at work here is called "hasty generalization". Look it up.

A conspiracy is nothing more than >=2 people committing a crime in concert. Others could be involved who know little and don't ask. Still others could be accessory after the fact.

Don't accept absolutist perspectives on complex matters. Watergate involved, in essence, complicity by the entire CIA and FBI.

Blame others? Well....YEAH.

[rKos]

Frightening annoyance! If everything is not easy I will not do anything at all!

[AlecEmpire]

this background music thing is the side effect of amateurism with the need to express themselves - but in the free culture this is the best we can get.

[KidsandKarma]

The background music needs to be turned DOWN! It's so loud it makes it very annoying to try & listen to the words of the speakers.

[0Oclockmusic]

@KidsandKarma the music is perfect! TURN IT UP!!!! but then turn up his voice tooo.

[RutilusOculus]

@KidsandKarma Serious, I hate when people do this shit. Turn the music off even.

[somedump]

@KidsandKarma

It's the music from the DvD, not of the video-ripper/youtube-user: smileycoyote.

[MrGSmith129]

@KidsandKarma it's not that bad. I found worse.

[bobbybolan]

The background music is annoying!

[22penners22]

its people like him that run this world you just have to hope that these people are good and not evil and thats always gonna be the problem half are good and half evil thats the problem that needs to be solved lets just hope that theres one good person whos smarter then the lot of them !

[Diatonic135]

hahaha. it just looks SO FUN to laugh at conspiracy theorists and the dumbing down of entire populations.

too bad for these groups that the conspiricy theories are now conspiracy truth, and the people they dumbed down are now heavily armed.

it's really funny. really fucking funny.

[PropagandaAnonymous]

UR off course here. Don't think you quite got what RAW is talking about.

Conspiracies are usually done in secret Secrecy blocks out new information

LIFE is constantly open to new information. DEATH comes when when systems can no longer

process information. By constantly blocking out new information,

one becomes Stupider than before. Hence, The Conspiracy of Stupidity Stupid shit dies. Stay constantly taking in new info Re-evaluating everything And u stay Smart

[signofthehammer]

lol the 3rd one is there are lots of conspiracies around

[RevFaris]

@signofthehammer haha yeah excellent humor. Those three comments sum it up pretty nicely I think.

[matchbox555]

only i have the truth

pay me and ill tell you what the real deal is

[artusart]

I love the way he teaches. Reminds me of my father.

[Problembeing]

RAW...RIP. Man spoke senses :P

[rehabib2]

what he is sayin is that were to busy blaming others for our own problems instead of doing something about it . i love how everyone on this page wants to show how smart they are . find your own light stop playin off someone else's

[halburd1]

wow that guy is a douche. blind to the ways of the world.

[LovexandxRage]

halburd1- would you like to explain your assertion?

[PeaceLoveEternity]

Are you on crack lol?

[halburd1]

are you a douche too? lol

[PeaceLoveEternity]

I guess I don't understand how you can say he is blind to the ways of the world. He sees the world for what it is. An illusion of consciousness.

[halburd1]

he is blind because he does not know WGY we are here. And until he knows why we are here he will never understand the ways of the world.

happy now :) lol

[lilchico4wg]

tell yourself what you want to think and it shall be true.

However, I perceive hippies, whatever that generalization means, as people! Just like yuppies, religious freaks, metal heads, geeks, talk show hosts, and grocery baggers, hippies are people like you and me. And people are pests/attention seekers.

And what is there to change and will it remain constant?

[taz33man1]

This is an excellent video, with a very encouraging message.

I believe that everyone who has woken up to the (likely very real) globalist conspiracy theories would benefit from watching this.

Thanks for creating/uploading this video.

[LordShivasServant]

lmao

Sorry dude. What an insult. Like calling a Japanese person a Chinaman.

I believe 9/11 was from the inside. But I do understand why you hate those conspiracy people. Put the blame sqaurly on Alex Jones. He's the scum of the Earth and has retarded many brains with his constant terrorism over the airwaves.

So you get people parroting him EVERYWHERE.

Here's an ethno experiment. Try and tell one of his followers about the Gray family. They'll probably blow up at you lol

- Over & Out

[LordShivasServant]

God... Internet people are retarded.

DUDE.. It's called HUMOUR... ffs..

Or as another one of you dumbass Americans called it: Irony.

[LordShivasServant]

9/11 was an inside job

9/11 was an inside job

9/11 was an inside job

[IrishLincoln]

Amazing how these people are freaking out over something that doesn't exist. These conspiracy nutters should just curl up into a ball and never come out of their houses. That's the best they can do. Hopeless...sad...cynical...fal­se...made-up realities that make these poor folks feel important. Most simply need to get a job. It helps.

[Ruest420]

For an irish person your ignorance towards the poor is suprising. Maybe these conspiracys are 100% true....but you cant take a stab at the poor..and cant deny the fact that the american governement is controlling a lot more than we think. Poor,Rich,Wealthy,Blue Collar,White Collar..none of it matters, in the end no ones gonna remember you on how much money you had or what your job was...as long as your living in your life trying to do good. ITS ALL THAT MATTERS.

[IrishLincoln]

Your ignorance toward regular spoken language is an issue. I wasn't speaking about the poor as in money poor. I was speaking in poor as sad or inept. How about replace "poor" with "vain"

[MopDMTBARTL]

Wake up!

the elite are 25 years ahead of us in knowledge, technology, information, secrets and they are using all of it AGAINST US!!!

TruthKnowledge com

[paganmonster]

we seem to be asleep and cannot do

[jobedied]

There is a conspiracy that keeps going the greed and hubris of humanity. The need to breed like rats and the need to rape all natural resources for profit.

[GuyTM]

OF COURSE there are greedy control-freak bastards at the top of the pyramid who want to extend their power further and further. But the point is that these people are really no more in control of the ship than the rest of us. It is all just a matter of perspective. They are no more in control of human society than a tiger is in control of the jungle.

[tehmushroom]

Agreed! but remember that the philosophy of RAW is to not believing in anything being certain "every perception is gamble", so while you say what you do, know that it's a gamble and it could be something completely different (not just either/or) - his exercises from 'Prometheus rising' have completely changed my way of thinking

[0Oclockmusic]

@GuyTM good point.

[Idolcruisefix]

@GuyTM, nica anology, "They are no more in control of human society than a tiger is in control of the jungle." to add to it, "the jungle prey is getting restless, and is building a zoo to feed the tiger, vegetable protien and oil, in it's glass box with a one way mirrior on the inside, no more human flesh for the tigers"

[k4y3lg33]

If you can have a corporation try to pull THAT off -- what makes you think they won't stoop to ANYTHING: murder; mass-enslavement; mind-control; ANYTHING. To NOT see this is what's nuts. And Mr. Wilson is nothing but a shill for these guys. Don't believe a word he says. All he's doing is telling you to "sleeep now . . . sleeep . . . go back to sleeep. There's nothing going on here . . . if you think so, you're stupid . . . " Lord forbid, anyone should call us stupid! So -- back to sleep!

[k4y3lg33]

These aren't myths: Super rich people ("elites") who want to own and run everything & everybody. They do whatever evil, corrupt things necessary to achieve their goals: buy governments; legislation; politicians; police/military -- History is FULL of these people! They cause wars. They kill people. Bechtel bought the water rights in a town in Brazil. They made it illegal for the citizens to COLLECT RAINWATER IN A PAN. This is TRUE! Look it up. There was mass revolt. The people won -- for now.

[k4y3lg33]

First, he defines the conspiracy theorists, saying they're people who "won't take responsibility for their own lives". How convenient! But in reality, that's not the case. Survivalists are actually the ultimate in taking responsibility for themselves. And, yeah, I can define my friends & self as the "power elite". Sure wish I had the money to back that up! Oh, wait -- the people who DO have the money ARE the power elite. Silly me. Sillier him.

[baphomet3777]

Jesuit Satanists, Adam Weishaupt fucks an alien, Washington smokes out, Franklin doses. Read "RITE OF THE REVOLUTION" by R. Rodgers. The most badass and True version of American History.

[GethusSathanus]

Jesuit Satanists? WTF!

[clnmyjts]

The truth is; IF you had the money to build a spaceship and go into outer space...OR could buy the most advanced Microscope and build a lab to pear into the smallest of small light particals...For the purpose of telling the world what you found.........what would happen? Their answer would no you can`t buy this to tell them or fly out there to see what there.. Tell me their not a conspiracy and I`ll tell you bullshit...

[voidium]

what a fuqin'' music...

[Lifesucksdie123]

he's trying to encourage you to put your energy into making your reality what you want;

and that's a good thing.

[utopiapraxis]

no, he's saying that he's involved in the conspiracy and people are stupid for not wanting to be slaves.

[DeMaximo]

How does holocaust fall into this theory? Did gas chambers undo themselves with their evil stupidity? Just not before they burned millions huh?

Educated stupidity.

[mindprism]

Culture is the conspiracy. It doesn't even need human controllers, it can be viewed as an autonomous system.

Does a cold virus need a brain to accomplish its 'goals'?

RAW wants us to think that all men are equally empowered at shaping the culture. All men are not equal in power, which defeats that assertion.

[basil81]

I think what he means is that all people have the capacity to empower themselves. You can't help where you start, but you can work hard to determine where you end up.

[marrow777]

I agree with you , it is simply not true that we all have impact and control over our destinies, how does the child killed by a massive tsunami influence that event?

[1chozen]

The term "theory" needs a new name. The "lab rat" test is still running here in Atlanta. They are telling us a couple more weeks this shortage will continue. Still no media coverage across the country. God help us all!

[blatspanner]

eight 38,why do you think the man is an idiot? just curious,you haven't been clear on your reasons.

[evets1968]

Sorry,I had you confused with someone else.You're not cool.

[evets1968]

I like your favorites list,eight 38's...

[eight38s]

Thank you evets1968. 8^D

[eight38s]

This guy is a FUCKING IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GawdMachine]

RAW was a genius you swine

[eight38s]

Hah! If you think he's a genuius, then I'm not even going to waste my time trying to talk some sence to you. Have a nice day "GawdMachine"

[GawdMachine]

If I could perhaps make a slight suggestion.. you might want to learn how to spell the word "sense" before you can "talk some sence" to folks.

Or at the very least you should get a good spell-check program. Otherwise you may tend to appear as a banjo playing extra in "Deliverance" to some.

best to you & yours

[eight38s]

Hah!

[lespaulsg89]

owned! lol

[kloten]

I like your favourites list too. We even share a common TEDtalks clip. But don't be too quick to judge poor old Robert Anton Wilson, the guy did more psychodelic drugs than you ever did and still came out smarter than either of us. you might need to read up on him if you ever grow tired from the "THEY rule the world" theories.

[eight38s]

Smarter than you maybe, not I.

Thanks for judging my views on the world but my fav list. You don't know me man. Let me have my views, and you can have yours.

Peace out.

[kloten]

"Thanks for judging my views on the world but my fav list" ...whut? You should complain, genius-You judge an author with work spanning 3 decades, based on the content of a video. Pick up a book.

[eight38s]

.... Ok buddy. >8^L

[Eldritchard]

agreed.....what bobs saying goes right over most folks heads, its really sad

[Eldritchard]

Why does nobody get what he's on about, forget the so called illuminatti and get on with your own life. Thats all he tried to tell anyone, to take responsability for yourself.

Peace........and nice channel kloten

[utopiapraxis]

That's not going to stop a child from getting raped by catholic freemasons.

[Eldritchard]

ROFL

[utopiapraxis]

There's nothing funny about a child getting raped by catholic freemasons.

[Eldritchard]

What apart from the fact that you cant be a Catholic Freemason, Your precluded from joining the Masons if you are a catholic cos you cant take the oath.

[utopiapraxis]

The Vatican owns freemasonry.

[utopiapraxis]

The Vatican owns everything.

[greyxwolf]

shame a 7 year old can carry a more intelligent story than our leader today..
