Operation Mindfuck

[David Morris]

Rich,

Also,

> I think we have different takes on “conspiracy” literature:

1. Those describing  conspiracies  born and bread amongst oppurnistc
 mortals for fun and control.

 2. And those that are baked into the mysterious cosmos in which we all
live.

Long, very long ago on this list there was a woman who repeatedly called
Pynchon a “working mystic,” and I think he was in GR.  Despite GR’s last
image, I see as a mystic poet, describing history’s  dynamics, not an
explicit history.
