Maybe Logic (film) - Lives and Ideas of Robert Anton Wilson

Guerrilla ontologist. Psychedelic magician. Quantum psychologist. Sit-down comic/philosopher. Discordian Pope. Whatever the label and rank, Robert Anton Wilson is undeniably one of the foundations of 20th century Western counterculture. This film is cinematic alchemy that conjures it all together in a hilarious and mind-bending journey guaranteed to increase your brain size 2-3 inches.

From the water coolers and staff meetings of Playboy magazine and the earth-shattering transmission of “The Illuminatus! Trilogy”, to fire-breathing senior citizen and Taoist sage, Robert Anton Wilson was a man who passed through the trials of Chapel Perilous and found himself on wondrous ground where nothing is for certain, even the treasured companionship of a six-foot-tall white rabbit. Featuring RAW video spanning 25 years and the best of over 100 hours of footage thoroughly tweaked, transmuted, and regenerated, “Maybe Logic: The Lives and Ideas of Robert Anton Wilson” follows a reality labyrinth which leads through the hollows of human perception to the vast star fields of Sirius, where we find one man alone, joyfully accepting his status as Damned Old Crank and Cosmic Schmuck.
