I sent the artwork off to the printers months ago, but think it's probably in the same limbo as the others (email, earth will shake, widow's son) waiting to sell out previous editions.Bobby Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809136879430277243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-85220154737618070212011-06-09T19:08:26.877-07:002011-06-09T19:08:26.877-07:00Has the "Bobby Campbell edition" of &quo...Has the "Bobby Campbell edition" of "An Insider's Guide to Robert Anton Wilson" been released?Cleveland Okie (Tom Jackson)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07810736442596736041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-61017454543444767422011-06-09T12:09:34.794-07:002011-06-09T12:09:34.794-07:00I just did a new cover for "Email to Universe...I just did a new cover for "Email to Universe" Don't know when it'll be released (I think the old editions need to sell out entirely first, which can take some time...) but just between us: http://www.bobbycampbell.net/RAW_EMAIL.jpgBobby Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809136879430277243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-35780209503768217402011-06-09T09:22:18.881-07:002011-06-09T09:22:18.881-07:00I find it interesting how it may take a village to...I find it interesting how it may take a village to finish _Tale of the Tribe_. Since Bob started writing and talking about it, I've spent a lot of time pursuing various parts of it, especially Joyce and Pound. Dr. Johnson has pursued various parts of it, especially Vico and McLuhan, Fly Agaric has taken another set of approaches, etc.<br /><br />We could attempt a more organized approach....Eric Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312033917401203598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-54777461983414386562011-06-09T06:25:40.799-07:002011-06-09T06:25:40.799-07:00As Michael points out, the Tale of the Tribe secti...As Michael points out, the Tale of the Tribe section of TSOG outlines a "self-study" course that anyone can take the trouble to pursue, if they want to.Cleveland Okie (Tom Jackson)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07810736442596736041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-71457884001395748932011-06-09T01:10:09.474-07:002011-06-09T01:10:09.474-07:00I love E to the U, but I think, for Royal Academy ...I love E to the U, but I think, for Royal Academy and myself and a few others, that last section in TSOG about the proposed Great Work that he didn't live to write...it's so utterly tantalizing.<br /><br />You both know, and many who read this blog know...that...and this is daunting: one or a few of us are going to have to do that work. <br /><br />I have spent a ridiculous number of hours reading those authors' books, seeing movies relating to them and their subjects, re-reading closely passages in RAW's oeuvre that seem to relate to the proposed overall arc/thesis of that work...Graciously, many RAWphiles who took Tale and related MaybeLogic Academy courses sent me their class notes. How does Bruno relate to Internet? How does Shannon's 1948 paper tie in with Vico and...how we are going to transcend our Earthian problems? Joyce and Pound and McLuhan and Internet and...the paideuma? (Ez seemed to think strong poets - not his term, but Harold Bloom's - could tweak the paideuma. How do silence, exile and cunning fit in with the Tale, if at all? Do we think the Tale was ultimately one that would be told so we would know the "truth" about ourselves? That every man and woman is a star? A philosophical anthropology? A ripped-up roadmap to human sanity, of which we must puzzle-piece together in order to see how RAW thought and how "we" (initiates?) might all proceed?<br /><br />I was reading a trans of Nicholas of Cusa not long ago. He advocated - seemingly for a small group of initiates? - a cultivation of learned ignorance, an "evermore subtle and insightful unknowing." The coincidence of opposites, a mathematical notion of infinity...pub in 1440!

I've read it many times.
