In a sane world RAW would be compulsory reading and listening for every schoolchild. His model on "conspiracy" theory has stopped me from going mad, paranoid or the worst thing of all, a "sceptic". It has taught me to never a priori reject something because of its "high strangeness" quota but to sometimes reject the interpretation of the high strangeness.....fnord.

I hope to have at least a vague concept of how foggy my own thinking is, thanks to people like RAW and Terrence Mckenna

strangeness is in fact deceleration, and an 8th dimensional notion by my reckoning.

it's what accounts for the high improbability surounding the existence of the world!

@jackamo23 indeed, in fact 'high strangeness' is actually guaranteed somewhere in the world, the difference between probability and improbability is purely and solely a matter of scale! so its an integral, fundamental part of reality!

isnt that fascinating! well it is to me...: )
