It is imperative that I give you the following information, which Mr. Karlusdavius wants concealed from the public. Here's a quick review: Certain facts are clear. For instance, Karlusdavius is trying to brainwash us. He wants us to believe that it's antihumanist to change the minds of those who engage in an endless round of finger pointing; that's boring; that's not cool. You know what I think of that, don't you? I think that Karlusdavius has somehow made up his mind that the world's salvation comes from whims, irrationality, and delusions. It seems to me that what he is doing is jumping to a hasty conclusion in the absence of adequate data. A more reasoned analysis would reveal that Karlusdavius's reasoning is circular and therefore invalid. In other words, he always begins an argument with his conclusion (e.g., that representative government is an outmoded system that should be replaced by a system of overt interventionism) and therefore—not surprisingly—he always arrives at that very conclusion.

For those of you who don't know, I, for one, plan to get people to see through the hollowness, the sham, the silliness of Karlusdavius's blockish reportages. Are you with me—or against me? Whatever you decide, if we take Karlusdavius's endeavors to their logical conclusion, we see that before you know it, Karlusdavius will make people suspicious of those who speak the truth. Considering the corruption and foolishness that characterize self-pitying, polyloquent mendicants, when I hear him say that the Queen of England heads up the international drug cartel, I have to wonder about him. Is he completely heinous? Is he simply being litigious? Or is he merely embracing a delusion in which he must believe in order to continue believing in himself? People often ask me that question. It's a difficult question to answer, however, because the querist generally wants a simple, concise answer. He doesn't want to hear a long, drawn-out explanation about how Karlusdavius has become a patsy to his own malevolence. It's also true that all he does is complain, complain, complain, but that'll have to be a subject for another letter.

Karlusdavius should be in better control of his hormones. More emphatically, we must stop tiptoeing and begin marching boldly and forthrightly towards our goal, which is to feed the starving, house the homeless, cure the sick, and still find wonder and awe in the sunrise and the moonlight. He wonders why everyone hates him. Apparently, he never stopped to think that maybe it's because I have no set opinion as to whether or not I have had enough of his quixotic fibs. I do, however, clearly suspect that if Karlusdavius had done his homework, he'd know that it doesn't do us much good to become angry and wave our arms and shout about the evils of his accusations in general terms. If we want other people to agree with us and join forces with us, then we must provide an antidote to contemporary manifestations of biased anti-intellectualism.

Karlusdavius is locked into his present course of destruction. He does not have the interest or the will to change his fundamentally jaundiced hypnopompic insights. Never before have I encountered more bloatedly self-important prose than that which he produces. His unforgiving game of chess—the gormless chess of poststructuralism—has continued for far too long. It's time to checkmate this sappy, self-satisfied boeotian and show him that his newsgroup postings are based on two fundamental errors. They assume that once he has approved of something it can't possibly be corrupt and they promote the mistaken idea that he's the best thing to come along since the invention of sliced bread.

Even as I write those words I can feel Karlusdavius cringe. That's okay. Cringe. I don't care because I myself recommend paying close attention to the praxeological method developed by the economist Ludwig von Mises and using it as a technique to deal with the relevant facts. The praxeological method is useful in this context because it employs praxeology, the general science of human action, to explain why Karlusdavius is caught up in an irrational belief about his own powers and abilities. Now that last statement is a bit of an oversimplification, an overgeneralization. But it is nevertheless substantially true. Still, the issue of what to do about Mr. Karlusdavius's unambitious manifestos is far from settled. The letter you just read should be seen as a starting point for dialogue on this controversial issue.

Before Mr. Prof. Paolo von Paoloson III starts ripping tendons and ligaments with his typical knee-jerk reaction to my letters, he should realize that his underlings have an inadequate grasp of acceptable scientific method and data interpretation. Read on, gentle reader, and hear what I have to say. He teaches workshops on fascism. Students who have been through the program compare it to a Communist re-education camp. He is a bad-tempered twaddler. I use that label only when it's true. If you don't believe it is, then consider that Prof. Paolo von Paoloson III will probably respond to this letter just like he responds to all criticism. He will put me down as "sneaky" or "appalling". That's his standard answer to everyone who says or writes anything about him except the most fawning praise.

In these days of political correctness and the changing of how history is taught in schools to fulfill a particular agenda, it is pointless to fret about the damage already caused by Paolo's bumptious crusades. The past cannot be changed. We must cope with the present if we hope to affect our future and send Paolo's ultimata into the dustbin where they belong. Paolo has, at times, called me "picayunish" or "sullen". Such contemptuous name-calling has passed far beyond the stage of being infantile but harmless. It has the capacity to make a cause célèbre out of Paolo's campaign to pass off all sorts of chauvinistic and obviously unprofessional stuff on others as a so-called "inner experience".

Let's be honest here: We must expose false prophets who preach that five-crystal orgone generators can eliminate mind-control energies that are being radiated from secret, underground, government facilities. Only then can a society free of his disorderly contrivances blossom forth from the roots of the past. And only then will people come to understand that in a tacit concession of defeat, he is now openly calling for the abridgment of various freedoms to accomplish coercively what his bookish editorials have failed at. I'm not afraid of Paolo. However, I am concerned that he wants to cast the world into nuclear holocaust. What's wrong with that? What's wrong is Paolo's gossamer grasp of reality. In short, Mr. Paolo's prissy invectives have done much to threaten the existence of human life, perhaps all life on the planet. I propose, therefore, that we respond by doing what we can to free people from the spell of mysticism that Paolo has cast over them.

I do! For this very reason, actually, nothing to do with the immersion. No, that would be incongrous.

Correction. I copy-pasted some crap I didn't even read, inserting Karlus' name instead of the original. Sinespe then probably did the same. Then I did the same again.

Thanks for reading though!
