"This is NOT a nice magazine"
Via MeFi (where else?): The Religious Experience of Philip K. Dick. This is fascinating stuff. Dick had a religious or psychotic episode, take your pick, and had all sorts of visions, including one in which he saw with complete accuracy that his son had a birth defect which needed immediate surgery. I beleive this sort of thing can happen; my wife "saw" a popcorn kernel that my son had stuck in his ear. After having read this I'm not sure I want to see Beautiful Mind anymore. Well worth a look.
