(2004-07-16) Play Alien Intelligence

Have this half-rememberance stuck in my head, maybe someone else can clue me in. Some folks got into some Game Playing of taking turns pretending to be an Alien Intelligence and answering deep questions from people. I know this was a scene in Robert Anton Wilson's Schrodingers Cat Trilogy. I think that's where my Annoying Quote it's always this way on primitive planets: the early stages of Evolution are never pretty comes from. I have this recollection that there was actually a radio show based on this theme at some point. I can't remember whether who was involved: Robert Anton Wilson, Tim Leary, maybe Paul Krassner?

Mar'2008: just found out that Howard Rheingold was doing this back in 1976, as Howard K Martian.
