You could always go to http://www.occulforums.com and hang out in the Chaos Magick section. I don't know what it's like these days, I've not posted on Occult Forums in months and have not been really active in over a year, but it used to be one of the best if not the best place on the internet for discussion on alternative spirituality and universial theories.

Omg. I have no idea who he is or what he does, but there were a TON of people that sent him money, and I didn't see those usual "omg scam" people. How strange.

Edit: Upon further inspection, it looks like an official-ish website, with the message being posted by the site owner? Anyway, still odd.

No, no I didn't. LoL.

There have been people some people saying scam. But the fact that the guy asked for donations directly to RAW's personal Paypal account and the fact that it is well known that RAW is very ill and will soon be dead, made it easier to believe. And for an update....

I'd have jumped and sent money the moment I saw it if I had a PayPal account.

I didn't even think of posting it here myself. Bad, bad Veri. doh.gif

The main page of RAW's website confirms it.

That's... fairly stupid.

EDIT: It's too bad the guy's dying, I just mean all the occult stuff is just so idiotic.

...And what does the occult have to do with this? Discordianism =/= Occultism.

EDIT: Nevermind. After looking up some stuff on Discordianism, it's clearly a joke.

We prefer the term religion-maskerading-as-joke-masquerading-as-religion-masquerading-as-joke-masquerading -as-religion.

Or the other way, it's all the same fnord.

So does Netcraft.

ETA: Good news, according to RAW's website, he's now set up comfortably thanks to donations.

Robert Anton Wilson's writings has certainly influenced the way I look at the world.

I am glad to see I'm not alone in that!
