“More than any other writer in the history of philosophy, Nietzsche set out to refute everyone who came before him, without exception and without mercy, and he had the intellect to do a damn good job.  He tears down so many accepted ideas that you’re left floating in a kind of nihilistic void.  Many people find this terrifying.  I find it exhilarating, and I manage to recover from it every time I subject myself to re-reading something by Nietzsche.”

– Robert Anton Wilson,
from the essay, Brain Books,
from Trajectories, and
now in Beyond Chaos and Beyond

“Wilson’s attitude toward Nietzsche is my attitude towards Wilson.”
