GRGR(34) - New Dope

[Can't Wait]

'This might help us ALL, even you, I'd bet.'


I'm not so sure it would help us all, especially if I didn't
pontificate in an adequate fashion, but I'd bet with you that it
would help me.  Yet my intentions were not to explain the phenomena
of lsd and Heidegger in any depth, merely to make a statement I find
quite exceptionally interesting, especially since it all came
screaming back to me early sunday morning.  It seemed timely to me. 
I certainly didn't mean to drop-names: you mentioned the new dope and
I had previously heard a fair amount of Heidegger mentioned along
these wires, so I wrote what I wrote.  I have no idea whether
Heidegger has anything to do with the Rainbow specifically, since I
don't really remember the book.  I'm just biding time, entertaining
myself in my own way until a new reading begins.  I didn't even
realize there was a structure to the discussions of the Rainbow until
the very last moment, when Nick brought out the rock in every soul
and now everybody--

I'm just speaking here and there, while the professor conducts his
reading-polls and the jbor tries to blame the journalist for his
being so dull.  But unlike so many others, I enjoy the bickering and
incessant pounding of their (and mine, when the time comes) single
viewpoints: I find it rather amusing.  What's wrong with beating each
other over the head about something you feel strongly about?  I mean
didn't you find it hysterical yesterday when Maus wrote his mail
complaining about the incessant bickering, and the jbor wrote back
'Well let's hear your opinion of the role of the holocaust in the
opening dream sequence!' with that false bullshit about respecting
Maus' opinion?  I'm in LA, and I could hear Maus exclaim all the way
from North Carolina to the jbor....'WHAT?!'

Regarding biding time until the next reading though, why is it that
V. is being read instead of Mason and Dixon?  Wouldn't the latter be
much better?
