Do Not Go Gently Into That Good Night

By Robert Anton Wilson

Hi there,
Various medical authorities swarm in and out of here predicting I have between two days and two months to live. I think they are guessing. I remain cheerful and unimpressed. I look forward without dogmatic optimism but without dread. I love you all and I deeply implore you to keep the lasagna flying.

Please pardon my levity, I don't see how to take death seriously. It seems absurd.
RAW

I didn't realize he was this close to leaving his skinsuit behind. I have to think that the recent outpouring of reciprocal love has become a beautiful goodbye to a true visionary.

**UPDATE:**
Robert Anton Wilson Defies Medical Experts and leaves his body @4:50 AM on binary date 01/11.
