RAW is such an underrated author and thinker. I don’t think there is a book of his that I have not read. I started reading him when I discovered Principia Discordia, Church of the Subgenius, etc. That whole scene of counter culture thinkers had a pretty major impact on me and my world view. Great to see others that appreciate the ideas just under the weirdness.

100% true for me as well -- I found the Illuminatus Trilogy via reading the Jargon File when I was an embryonic techie oh so long ago and that whole scene has been super-influential on me ever since.
