Not in a Gregory Bateson fashion, too bad, but the papers are on wiki I believe.<br />If you review what initial subtleties were overlooked in the native discordianism of the plains Indians, it can give a glimpse of what how misunderstood we can be.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-54303260478639867762014-05-13T18:30:45.949-07:002014-05-13T18:30:45.949-07:00That's a great observation about Stranger in a...That's a great observation about Stranger in a Strange Land.

As his bibliography shows, Greer has been doing a lot of research in the “zine scene”, and thus is in a position to complement Cusack’s approach.<br /><br />One other thing: the June publication of the last volume of Bill Patterson’s biography of Robert Heinlein is undoubtedly going to cause a lot of speculation about the origins and meaning of <i>Stranger in a Strange Land</i> to be irrelevant.
