	Reason: Live From Chapel Perilous: We’re living in Robert Anton Wilson’s world.
		Robert Anton Wilson is the unacknowledged elephant in our cultural living room: a direct and indirect influence on popular books, movies, TV shows, music, games, comics, and commentary.
		Wilson is a primary source for the ironic style of conspiracism, a sensibility that treats alleged cabals not as intrigues to be exposed or lies to be debunked but as a bizarre mutant mythos to be mined for laughs, metaphors, and social insights.
		And it was Wilson whose other novels and essays, from the historical fiction The Earth Will Shake to the autobiographical Cosmic Trigger, explored conspiracy theories not to expose "the truth" but to reveal the ways we construct strange stories out of the everyday truths we only hazily perceive.

		In the 2003 documentary, 'Maybe Logic: the Lives and Ideas of Robert Anton Wilson', Paul Krassner (editor of The Realist) opines that Wilson and his works act as a kind of 'alarm clock' for people's psyches, waking them from their tunnel-realities in a culture that largely works to 'lull them to sleep'.
