Says he: "Sure, I'm worried. But I'm not that worried. As soon as I earn me my billion dollars, I am going to buy a network. I am going to find the new Frank Capra and set him to making movies. I can quit whenever I want to. I am not worried about what people think...
Okay, you don't have to take Wilber's word for it. But as more "serious" physicists like Wheeler and Capra sound like Zen Masters, and more and more gurus get wired up to bio-feedback machines, and as the rational West more and more confirms the metaphysics of the intuitive East, someone you trust is bound to confirm a great deal of Wilber's work.

CBS appears to assume that Hillbillies appealed chiefly to yokels, dullards and children, when in fact it was a secret favorite of some college professors and was indebted to the populist film comedies of Frank Capra. It was the story of got-rich-quick innocents coping with the darker side of the American Dream-the fear that even with money and social access they could never belong. Eleven years later, the Clampetts are settled, even smug, with no remaining sense of wonder about the world. CBS has concocted...
