What Happened to Patapsychology?

Detail from the book cover of Robert Anton Wilson’s Illuminatus! Pt. II

Robert Anton Wilson, a prolific sci-fi author and editor for Playboy, is worth reading specifically for the fact that his work is a gateway to many off-the-wall ideas and perspectives. Dabbling in his books is like taking a slow-motion dive down an esoteric Wikipedia rabbit hole. It’s not surprising that he’s the one who introduced me to the concept of patapsychology.
