Lots of news you should read for yourself (I have posted a handy link under "Official News." I especially liked this excerpt from an old Robert Anton Wilson email, dating back to 1999:
In the dark, terrible months after my daughter’s death, I often repeated to myself a favorite quote from Nietzsche: “Whatever doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.” Then G Gordon Liddy got out of prison and I saw the TV coverage. Liddy walking to his car, reporters shouting questions, Liddy answering “No comment... no comment... no comment...” Then just before he got into the car, a reporter asked, “Do you have any comment on the American prison system?” Liddy replied, “Anything that doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.”
I suddenly felt a deep empathy with him. Guess that’s what the Romans meant by “humanitas” and Buddhists call compassion for all living beings.
Don’t know much about acting, but writing novels sure teaches a lot of that. I’ve learned more creating/becoming my monsters and villains than I’ve learned creating likeable characters.
Robert Anton Wilson, email to the GroupMind, 5/20/99
