So then he wrote a book called "You're All Stupid: How to convince millions of ignorant people of your point of view." It sold over ten million copies. Now he has legions of followers whom are all convinced that they and they alone are the only intelligent people in the world and everyone else is stupid.

The irony of it all was, of course, that this changed out society in absolutely no way whatsoever, because that’s how it already was: Millions of ignorant people all firmly believed that they were the only intelligent people in the world (because they had all read the same book) and that everyone else was stupid. Any resemblance to this situation and every monotheistic religion in the world is probably not a coincidence.

Yet for all their superiority, none of these people could ever seem to rise to the top of the shitheap, and instead spent their days spewing their venom towards those more successful than themselves. This provided them some measure of comfort against the looming shadow of their own failed lives. It was simply an inversion of personal values, or at least the claiming of such, to make their failings a virtue and the prosperity of others into a vice. Yet this, too, was already well known as Nietzsche pointed it out long before, as well. So this, too, was passé.

So despite their “efforts” nothing really changed, except that now millions of “geniuses” went around making derogatory remarks about everyone else’s intelligence, and that no one appreciated the irony in which those remarked increased in escalation as the success (def: a byproduct of intelligence) of their targets increased. Though there were many fools, indeed, floating upon the top of the world, yet they all had an angle: Selling something, be it product or simply ideas, to an great number of even greater fools beneath them. Much like the author had done.

Good article.

"Man is what he is, a wild animal with the will to survive and (so far) the ability, against all competition. Unless one accepts that, anything one says about morals, war, politics you name it, is nonsense. Correct morals arise from knowing what Man is -- not what do-gooders and well-meaning old Aunt Nellies would like him to be."

We (Erik & I) went to Nina's little art show the other day. It was swell.

So less than 24 hours after getting a new phone number the first person to call me was, naturally, a telemarketer. Ah but wait, it gets better! Not just any kind of telemarketer. Trying to sell me a timeshare or vacation to Florida is laughable enough, but this one set a new record in sheer moronic irony: They were from the "Citizens for Moral Decency" group.

*snork*

Which is, obviously, kind of like Ted Haggard trying to hit up Maralyn Manson for money.

Which, speaking of Mr.Warner, gave me this great idea on how the Church of Satan can even moreso irk the Christian Right. It's easy - support them. Considering that most of the actions of the Christian Right ultimately only bring pain & suffering to the world, would it be morally incorrect for the Church of Satan to actually support them on issues? Think about it.

Scene One
Fundie: "We oppose abortion!"
Satanist: "So do we!"
Fundie: "Huh?"
Satanist: "Increasing the number of poor, unwanted children in the world whom are born to uneducated, impoverished families will definitely do wonders to increase the misery quotient of our society. So keep breeding, fools, your corporate masters need more slave labor.”
Fundie: “But that’s not what we meant!”
Satanist: “It’s not what you meant to do that matters in the end, it’s what you did that matters.”

Scene Two
Fundie: “We believe in faith over science!”
Satanist: “Good idea, let’s roll with that.”
Fundie: “Huh?”
Satanist: “By doing that you lower the overall level of intelligence of society as a whole, hamstringing scientific progress, technological progress, and ultimately start rolling the level of civilization backwards towards the Dark Ages. Those were great times, with endless wars, plagues, bloodshed, and people being set on fire. Our Dark Master gives your idea two thumbs up.”
Fundie: “That’s not what we meant!”
Satanist: “But it’s what you get.”

Scene Three
Fundie: “We believe making this country into a Christian theocracy!”
Satanist: “Excellent idea!”
Fundie: “Huh?”
Satanist: “Satanism is just the flipside of Christianity, so anything that forces people to become Christians instead of something else like Buddhist or Pagan or even Athiest ultimately increases the number of Satanists in the world as well. Besides, once you start forcing people to be Christian – as you always have done in the past whenever you’ve gained enough political power – then you create exactly the kind of resentment needed to make even more people turn Satanist just to rebel against you. So we’re all for it. We need to get back to the two-party system.”
Fundie: “That’s not what we meant!”
Satanist: “So?”

So you see, the most logical course of action for any Satanist wishing to promote misery, decay, violence and terror upon the world be to give their full endorsement and support to pretty much everything the Christian Right proposes.
