The book: Cosmic Trigger I by Robert Anton Wilson.
Jack Parsons for me is the greatest unknown, ... I don't even know what to call him: a philosopher , a scientist, whatever he is. He was the greatest—one of the greatest people of the 20th century that no one knew about. Most people have heard of Buckminster Fuller, Albert Einstein, and, to some extent, Aleister Crowley. James Joyce. Jack Parsons is virtually unknown, although he, like no other, was responsible for the American space program and for man, in particular Neil Armstrong, setting foot on the moon. He is responsible for the entire space program. And he was one of the greatest libertarian philosophers who ever lived. His book, "Freedom is a Double-Edged Sword," seems to me to be one of the best expositions of libertarian philosophy ever written. And if I had a million dollars, I would print enough copies to put one in every home in the United States so everyone would have a chance to read it. I am a very ardent libertarian myself, but I disagree with most libertarians on many issues. Jack Parsons is the only libertarian in the 20th century with whom I agree on almost everything. There were some libertarians of the 19th century with whom I agree on almost everything, like Lysander Spooner, Ezra Haywood, Benjamin Tucker, but they are almost all forgotten, as is Jack Parsons. Libertarianism is not very popular, even though this country was founded on libertarian principles. Jack Parsons was not only a prominent libertarian philosopher and a great scientist, he was, , a very gifted, talented, philosophically minded, and intelligent occultist, which is hard for many to understand. Most people think you're either a scientist or an occultist, you can't be both. Jack Parsons is a classic example of being both . There are many other cases in history, such as Isaac Newton, Giordano Bruno, Johannes Kepler, but Parsons was the only one in modern times who was undoubtedly a great scientist, or at least a great engineer, which meant that he had to have a solid scientific background to be such a great engineer, and at the same time be a practicing occultist. So the fact that he was a scientist, an occultist, and a libertarian makes him an extremely fascinating and important figure. And the reason he is generally unknown is because most people can't understand how science, libertarianism, and the occult can all…
Para mí, Jack Parsons es el desconocido más grande, ... no sé qué llamarle: filósofo, científico, lo que sea. Era el más grande—uno de los grandes hombres del siglo XX que nadie conocía. La mayoría de las personas han oído hablar de Buckminster Fuller, Albert Einstein, y, en cierta medida, Aleister Crowley. James Joyce. Jack Parsons es virtualmente desconocido, aunque él, como nadie más, fue responsable del programa espacial estadounidense y para que el hombre, en particular Neil Armstrong, pusiera pie en la luna. Él es responsable del programa espacial en su totalidad. Y fue uno de los filósofos libertarios más grandes que hayan vivido. Su libro, "La libertad es una espada de doble filo," me parece ser una de las mejores exposiciones de la filosofía libertaria jamás escritas. Y si tuviera un millón de dólares, imprimiría suficientes copias para poner una en cada hogar en los Estados Unidos para que todos tuvieran la oportunidad de leerla. Soy un libertario muy ardiente, pero me desacuerdo con la mayoría de los libertarios en muchos temas. Jack Parsons es el único libertario del siglo XX con quien estoy de acuerdo en casi todo. Había algunos libertarios del siglo XIX con quienes estoy de acuerdo en casi todo, como Lysander Spooner, Ezra Haywood, Benjamin Tucker, pero están casi todos olvidados, como Jack Parsons. El libertarismo no es muy popular, aunque este país fue fundado sobre principios libertarios. Jack Parsons no solo fue un filósofo libertario prominente y un gran científico, sino que, además, fue un muy dotado, talentoso, filosóficamente dotado y inteligente ocultista, lo cual es difícil de entender para muchos. La mayoría de las personas piensan que eres o un científico o un ocultista, no puedes ser ambos. Jack Parsons es un ejemplo clásico de ser ambos . Hay muchos otros casos…
