The tale of the tribe shares at least three interpretations: 1) An unfinished, unpublished book project by Robert Anton Wilson, 2) The 8 week class called Tale Of The Tribe led by Wilson in 2005. 3) An epic poem including history, two examples of such a magnum opus are Finnegans Wake by James Joyce and the Cantos of Ezra Pound. Each a wild jungle of experimental language to be explored with an open mind. Provocative tools to cause one to think. Wilson drills deep into decentralized internet, from Giordano Bruno to Marshall McLuhan, performing by example the literary techniques which can affect change in our apprehension of the cosmos. With assistance from a search engine, since around 1998 we may all enter into the once impenetrable texts if we choose. Examples highlighted include the encyclopedias and manuals handed up to us by likes of Alfred Korzybski, James Joyce, Albert Einstein, W.B Yeats, Ezra Pound, Marshall McLuhan, Buckminster Fuller, Claude Shannon and Wilson himself. This book includes my psycho-geographical journey into the dense labyrinth with a half full lighter. I am attempting to be sympathetic to those who may not have heard of him, let alone read him and his sources, and/or his sources sources. Stay with me bro, there are bright lights ahead i swear. James Joyce once remarked that he hoped Finnegans Wake would keep the critics busy for the next 300 years, Wilson held no lesser ambition, and his Joyce scholarship alone, demonstrably approximates a single lifetimes study. (see Coincidance, Hilaritas Press, 2017). On the surface, statements like this reek of ego-self inflation, underneath lie gifts for all, no matter their learning. A universal sense of deeper understanding through a transformation of language. A global epic including history by a single individual author, forced to innovating a whole new style to facilitate the new paradigm. Consider James Joyce and Einstein as contemporary thinkers, for example, essentially communicating very similar ideas, albeit in different sorts of fancy language, and with dashes, dots and symbolic markings. Originally stemming from the 8 week class that Wilson led in September/October 2005, and from pouring over the final chapter of his book TSOG: Ricorsi (2002) in which he outlines The Tale Of The Tribe. "TV vs INTERNET. "Language vs. The Equation"
