If Jules Siegel wasn't lying, TRP apparently told Siegel that he was "so
fucked up" writng _GR_ that he couldn't figure out what he was talking about
when he went back later to re-read stuff. Of course he's smoked
tons of pot. I imagine, though, that he's climbed the drug-ladder and has
left it behind.

Modern man likes to pretend that his thinking is wide-awake. But this
wide-awake thinking has led us into the mazes of a nightmare in which the
torture chambers are endlessly repeated in the mirrors of reason. When we
emerge, perhaps we will realise we have been dreaming with our eyes open,
and that the dreams of reason are intolerable. And then, perhaps, we will
begin to dream once more with our eyes closed.
-- Octavio Paz, _The Labyrinth of Solitude_
