Since Doug has been keeping the source of all his cool pictures on Photosynthetic Molecules a secret, I took it on myself to unravel the mystery. And unravel it I did. The pictures are from a page about Egomania, which starts off with the following paragraph:
- An unrecognized, invisible killer is stalking the world. The insidious aspect of egomania is its ability to take over the mind and soul of its victims, so that instead of seeing egomania as a disease, we are made to see it as the height of human reason (pursuing our self-interest) and the purpose of human existence (getting ahead). Even when we see its worst apects—its most hideous visages–we are blind to its destructive lethality.
So far it has a very Robert Anton Wilson kind of edge to it. Rest assured, I’ll read on and get to the bottom of this. Judging by the pictures alone, it’s going to be great.
UPDATE!
I also like this paragraph a lot:
- A major element in maturity is the ability to see through the social myths dominant at any particular time in history. And at any given time, only a few people are able to achieve the necessary understanding of their social conditioning to break through the delusions, myths, and fantasies peddled by the people controlling social ideology and behavior.
Doug, if you like this stuff, it’s definitely time to buy yourself a copy of Prometheus Rising. Same sorta shit, taken to the next level. Although it gets kinda kooky at points. But I think you’ll like it. Same goes for everybody else. It’s an excellent book.
