New Thinking Allowed with Jeffrey Mishlove Apr 26, 2026 Philosophy Gabriel Kennedy (aka Prop Anon) is the author of Chapel Perilous: The Life & Thought Crimes of Robert Anton Wilson. He is also a visual artist and musician. Gabriel explores Robert Anton Wilson’s critique of scientific dogmatism and his concept of “model agnosticism,” which challenges certainty in both science and perception. Drawing on Wilson’s book The New Inquisition, Kennedy examines tensions between parapsychology and organized skepticism, highlighting episodes of intellectual conflict and suppression. The discussion ultimately invites viewers to question rigid belief systems and embrace a more open, exploratory approach to knowledge and reality. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:05:11 Model agnosticism and perception explained 00:10:30 Wilson’s experimental writing and epistemology 00:14:18 The new inquisition and scientific dogma 00:18:29 Origins of Wilson’s critique and conference conflicts 00:24:01 The citadel metaphor and power structures in science 00:28:18 Guerrilla ontology and reader participation 00:33:14 Language, perception, and the “some but not all” principle 00:40:38 The astrological Mars effect upon athletes critique 00:54:40 Conclusion New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.
