The libertarian novelist, journalist, humorist, and philosopher Robert Anton Wilson died at about 4:50 this morning, Pacific Coast time. As far as I'm aware, the last thing he wrote was this, posted on his blog last Saturday: Various medical authorities swarm in and out of here predicting I have between two days and two months to live. I think they are guessing. I remain cheerful and unimpressed. I look forward without dogmatic optimism but without dread. I love you all and I deeply implore you to keep the lasagna flying. Please pardon my levity, I don't see how to take...

RIP, RAW.

In one of his books he said he wanted to make it to at least 12/21/12 ("Timewave Zero"). ...and I was rooting for him.

Robert Anton Wilson, co-author of the cult classic "The Illuminatus! Trilogy," a science-fiction series about a secret global society, has died.

They got him. It's best not to mess around with secret global societies.

The Grays are deeply saddened : )

Mr. Wilson contended that people should never rule out any possibility, including that lasagna might fly.

This I can attest to seeing.

Wilson died peacefully of natural causes

Surrrrrre he did.

[snarks_when_bored]

Wilson wrote 35 books on subjects such as extrasensory perception, mental telepathy, metaphysics, paranormal experiences, conspiracy theory, sex, drugs and what he called quantum psychology.

A pioneer of quack art.

I CAN hear the grass grow. RIP.

[TontoKowalski]

He wrote the "Illuminatus" trilogy with his friend Robert Shea in the late 1960s, when they were both editors at Playboy.

Caught this on re-read. "Playboy" reference is sure to get the thread kick-started. You should have put it in the title.

His Eschaton has finally been immanentized
