Well folks, I was good today and got all my work done, so I can
indulge the extreme pleasure of answering a Classic Gene Post. What
makes it a Classic is his assertion of intellectual superiority,
which he will always go for whole-hog if you give him half a
chance.
It is simply a fact that I am an intellectual. If the
word "intelligentsia" bothers you, or the implication it might apply
to me, I suggest it is your ego problem. The ego "lives" by
comparison. However, Course students should trying to learn
differently, and get over the idea that they are egos, that the ego
has value as such, or that their value is given by the value of their
ego.
Case in point:
Hmm... this would imply that because Gene believes the book to be
an "obvious hoax", that makes HIM the Intelligentsia.
It does not imply any such thing. This incredibly confused thinking
does at least show you need not worry about the question. If your
value depends on intelligence, then you are in trouble.
By the way, why the majuscule?
Those of you
who find the book sound, worthwhile, and inspiring -- the 99.75% of
readers I referred to earlier -- well, you're just not quite up
there
in the Smarts Department with Gene.
Are you attacking me because you think this is true, but I shouldn't
have suggested it, or because you think it isn't true?
So thanks once again, Gene, for the comic relief. Jesus loves you
(and even me!)... that much I know for sure.
You've made it quite clear you don't much like Jesus. Shall I dig up
the quotes?
