    Does anybody remember "Hagbard Celine"?

    I think he was the "Captain Nemo" type figure in "Illuminatus", a trilogy of wanky science fiction by ex Playboy writers that did much to corrupt a generation. The fact that I even remember it - along with my remarks about Satanists, Setians, and Crowleyans on the next thread - should show how 'libertarianism' actually impacted me, in the 1970s and 1980s : via occultism. If anyone is curious about what the occult scene was really like in those days, they can't do better than to read this absolutely sweet, poignant memorial, "The Doom That Came To Chelsea," by Alan Cabal (probably not his real name, but I am proud to say that he, or someone using the same name, occasionally sends comments to my blog):
