Phish played their “final” concert / festival in upstate Vermont in August of 2004. It was the worst-run, poorest-planned festival I’ve ever had the misfortune of attending. The weather conditions didn’t help, of course, but even if it’d been a sun-filled weekend, the facilities and the civil engineering they had were utterly failing. The porta-potties alone were the saddest, nastiest latrines I’d ever seen. I had used drains in the former Yugoslavia which were far preferable to the technologies in use at Coventry. Add in the rains and the subsequent inability for the crew to maintain sanitation, and it made for one helluva nasty experience. Garbage overflowed everywhere, latrines went uncleaned for days at a time, overflowing with filth. For people who didn’t have boots, they were forced to tromp threw the slop daily. It was beyond nasty.

even the map had issues - mislabelled areas, etc

Dr. John Archibald Wheeler has a more radical view of the matter these days than he had back when he co-authored the EWG model.But before discussing that, we need to look at “non-locality.”In 1965, Dr. John S. Bell published a paper which physicists refer to tersely as “Bell’s Theorem.” Since a great deal of nonsense has gotten printed about this — and I wrote nonsense myself in an early book called Cosmic Trigger I: Final Secret of the Illuminati Falcon Press 1987 — we will take this very slowly. Bell’s Theorem asserts that: If some sort of objective universe exists in some sense i.e., if we do not accept the most solipsistic heresies uttered by careless proponents of Copenhagenism, and,If the equations of quantum mechanics have a similarity of structure isomorphism to that universe, then, Some sort of non-local correlation exists between any two particles that once came in contact.
