The nightmarish fruit of postmodernism.

According to my own understanding, heā€™s an unstable mind exploited to ground the foreshadowings of the worse future in reality, via the influence of his works on peopleā€™s minds. He mistook it for a worse past though, which it would be from an inner perspective, but which makes no sense in the physical world. What he says around 17 minutes about a perpendicular timeline having been changed in the past is incoherent. Heā€™s too grounded in linear time really to grasp its interaction with ā€˜innerā€™ time.

Good fiction writer; terrible theologian.

Outstanding!
In fact, Flow My Tears, The Policemen Said; has always been my favorite PKD novel. This speech adds a whole new perspective. Iā€™m just going to have to read it again. Itā€™s been many years now, and ā€œourā€ times are certainly what PKD is referring to. He probably wouldnā€™t be surprised that such ā€˜evilā€™ has already played out, and is still moving forward linearly.

Thanks for the link!
A real treasure!
