Join me in celebrating a day of not being sure about anything. But don’t expect the Certain to thank you for it
Today is Maybe Day, a day inspired by the late writer Robert Anton Wilson. It was his hope that on this day people of all creeds and beliefs would come together and chant, “Jesus is the only son of God, maybe” “Hear O Israel, the Lord thy God is one, maybe” and “There’s no God but Allah, maybe, and maybe Mohammed is his prophet.” At this point the world would suddenly become a far saner place.

Over 10 years ago, I discovered that I could save MSword documents as html files and upload them to my ISP user home page, and RAWilsonFans was born out of the alt.fan.rawilson FAQAFUQ (Frequently Answered Questions and Frequently Unanswered Questions), the Crowley article from The Realist, and The Chocolate Biscuit Conspiracy mp3s I liberated from Napster. Marc “elmyr” Lutter developed the original FAQAFUQ with the help of many of the alt.fan.rawilson regulars back around 1999-2000 and I always felt it needed a more prominent presence on the web. Over the years, I’ve received contributions from a variety of folks across the infosphere and wish I had kept better records on all that. Wilson-heads Eric Wagner and Michael “RMJon23” Johnson deserve special mention for their extensive help, advice, and contributions, and now RAW blogger Tom Jackson deserves a shout-out for his recent efforts in analog to digital conversion.
A few years ago, Joseph Matheny began hosting this site on the Alterati servers, and now he has converted the base site to this new platform. With the new platform, we’ve gone through and updated all the links and content, and added a wealth of new material that has emerged over the past year or two. Take a look around and fnord.

It has been a long while since this site has had an update and many of the links below may have already crossed your path.
One of the most requested items (2nd only to The Sex Magicians) I’ve had over the years is the Mystic Fire movie Borders, with Steve Buscemi, which has only very recently been uploaded to YouTube in one full, uncut video by the prolific RAWarchive channel.
I’ve completed and published a long anticipated index of the Realist Archive Project.
If you’ve never been to Tom Jackson’s RAW Illumination blog, set aside some time prior to venturing into the featured contents including a dozen new essays, two new interviews, and a handful of collected letters.
Other videos incude the Prophets Conference from Dec, 2000 and a gig with Leary from 1998 in LA. Meanwhile, 3 new interviews have been added to the roster: Obscure Research Interview 1991, Rabbit Warren Report 1997, and Future Life Interview, Sept 1981.
Last but not least, we have an audio interview on Finnegans Wake and Joseph Campbell.
