Marc Salmon is joined once again by writer Gabriel Kennedy, author of Chapel Perilous: The Life and Thought Crimes of Robert Anton Wilson, for a conversation about the ideas of Robert Anton Wilson and what they might have to offer us now.

Together they explore non-zero-sum politics, anarchism, power and hierarchy, violence and nonviolence, reality tunnels, the eight-circuit model of consciousness, psychedelics, intelligence, AI and the question of who gets to programme the programmers.

Gabriel first appeared on Episode 5 of The Bardo Podcast for a wider introduction to the life and work of Robert Anton Wilson. This time, we get deeper into the ideas themselves, where they still feel useful, and where they might need questioning or updating.
