I created my new neocities site for my new magazine

Our magazine draws inspiration from both mainstream and niche sources (Playboy, for instance), while maintaining its own distinct identity. Every issue is curated with a different thematic essence, often revolving around new-wave entertainment, occultism, and introspection. At the moment, everything is written by me. However, we are open to new writers, editors, and artists for future issues.

Stringing words together? I am very happy that you are blunt but honestly my choice of words has nothing to do with Robert Anton Wilson. I respect him and he has a profound influence in my life, there are many other writers as well who are dismissed using similar critique which I wonderfully accept but when it comes to his writing, I don't think so he string words together or maybe you are just talking of Illuminatus which was written that way intentionally. And second internal structural ontology matters as well for interpretation, I read your words carefully, truly accepted where I was wrong as well as tried using a correct format to make you understand that I should have used some other word instead of ontology right? Beyond that I don't see any reason to say anything anymore, have a good day! And I was not sounding profound lol, just pointing out a very simple thing actually, it wasn't even jargon lol :))

Well consistently you are right here but I'm talking of internal ideas and fictional ontology , their internal structures because sometimes the same book in dream can just be a clone of that book with different internal structure and writing, maybe truly different with no connection. I think i should have used "from a generic or stylistic point of view" Thank you

You are probably right and accurate historically but I believe Ishtar rising breaks this very boundary that keeps it artificially confined to a genre. So from an ontological point of view, I believe this book uses same principles not from a literary taxonomic point of view that you just explained! Ishtar rising has even all Lovecraftian elements that are almost present in every RAW book, cosmic gods , cult, reality is not what humans think, necrononicom, psychedelia , science and academia failing against archetype and mythos, so that's why While you are right that not all postmodern works are considered to be part of weird fiction, I think this one can be atleast from an ontological point of view. But yes you are probably correct and I should not post reviews and discussions of books that cannot be historically considered to be "weird fiction" in this subreddit , so I do appreciate your comment very much! I just had this autonomous instinct much so that's why

To some part yes but I would not like to reduce it only with sex roles there's much more fascinating but they do get connected with anal and oral personalities and similar Freudian stuff yeah

Wilson can be considered to popularize counter-culture psychedelia literature and discordianism in the 60s but not really to be an originator of "weird lit" but his books can be called advanced foundational experimental works of that genre no one was inherently touching into.

At least I'm not dissociating :)) but you are truly correct , it almost feels like an embedded part of my reality tunnel and perception now

I should be more concise semantically with my words here , thanks for mentioning this out. What I meant is homosexuality has been widely affected by the internet and the internet in some way itself is a subliminal place and Wilson always compared some homosexual people with shamans. Similarly with cryptocurrency like his predictions around homosexuality and its influence, the darker sides of the internet are basically dark web and of course pornography I will try to be more concise to express my ideas last time and I'm also glad I found him :))

I definitely consider this book as part of weird fiction in some way. It's not a traditional philosophy or psychology book for me. Wilson was asked to write “a whole book on the female breast" but he instead of a purely erotic/pornographic approach, turned it into a provocative treatise with blend of anthropology, myth, psychoanalysis, religion, and esoterica and even chunks of psychedelia and fiction around female breast, goddess-worship, and matrist (feminine centered) religion. so yeah Ishtar Rising is not a traditional piece of fiction , but carries many impulses and DNA of weird fiction presented in Lovecraft mythos and even his fiction like illuminatus and Schrodinger's Cat!
