Interview mit RAW
"If someone asked you – 'Do you believe in God' – what would you say?"
"Hell, no! Oddly, I don't consider myself an atheist, though-- not in the ordinary sense. The universe seems fundamentally rational to me, but I see no signs of a central government or a Tsar. The cybernetic concept of feedback and the Chinese concept of the Dao account for the intelligence I see in the world.
To me, in my ignorance, Juang Ju's axiom "There is no Governor anywhere" implies that "government" resides non-locally, as in a cybernetic system...
or an anarchist syndicate maybe...
"How would you correlate Oriental and Western cultures?"
"I don't know enough to generalize beyond their religions. I have a strong affinity with Daosim and Buddhism, which gives me a slight pro-Oriental bias. I regard Judaism, Christianity and Islam as three of the worst cults ever invented. Monotheism seems like intellectual poison to me. I fear all faith-based systems, including secular ideologies, which all seem like hangovers from the monotheistic dark ages."
