They don't make them as brilliantly insightful and plain f-off funny anymore.
The following sentence is true.
The previous sentence was false.
Goodbye sir! I don't believe anything you said, but I have a strong inkling you were spot on.

RAW: He claims "not to believe anything," since "belief is the death of thought."

If he can be believed, he has said he wasn't upset about the prospect of dying.
Something I enjoyed from a post of his a short month ago:
Wavy Gravy once asked a Zen Roshi, "What happens after death?"
The Roshi replied, "I don't know."
Wavy protested, "But you're a Zen Master!"
"Yes," the Roshi admitted, "but I'm not a dead Zen Master."

I always liked RAW's advice to smoke a joint and enjoy some sauna time at least once a week for life. Now that's a regimen I can stick to.

R.A.W. " Now that's the Schrödinger's Cat paradox: Schrödinger demonstrated that, in quantum theory, you can say a cat is dead and the cat is alive, and both can be true at the same time -- even though that contradicts ordinary logic.
Just the same way the cat can be dead and alive, I'm dead and alive. It gives you a certain Buddhist detachment from things to think that you're dead and alive at the same time. You can't get too worried when you start thinking of it that way."
