I contradict myself?

Very well, then: I contradict myself.

I am large: I contain multitudes.

Walt Whitman

The opposite of a trivial truth is false;

the opposite of a great truth is also true.

Niels Bohr

Dogen Zenji

Ill pick-a you up in my car.

Oh, you have a car?

No. I used to have a car and a chauffeur, but

I couldnt afford both, so I got rid of the car.

What good is a chauffeur without a car?

I need him to drive me to work.

How can he drive you to work without a car?

Its-a okay. I dont have a job.

T his book dates from a barbaric, almost pre-historic ageover twenty years ago. You will realize how far back in the abyss of time that near-Feudal epoch looks in retrospect when I tell you that I wrote the entire manuscript on a typewriter. Of course, we had electric lights instead of candles, and the horseless carriage had come into general use, but otherwise the so-called advanced nations remained in a primitive industrial economy and few could foresee the Information Age dawning.

Those Eolithic days seem hard to recall now. Nobody but the military and a few universities had access to Internet or the World Wide Web; if I wanted to do research, I had to leave the typewriter a device only a little less archaic than the quill penand drive to a library where Id spend a day taking notes with a pen on a pad. No humans lived in space yet; the Mir space station did not begin construction until 1986, eight years after The Illuminati Papers
