I've joined a new list:  The bababradha group.  I think I'm going hare 
krishna.  I think Jesus was on a drunk, a bad one, when he dictated the 
Gospel of Thomas (online now).

I was just watching the Men's NCAA final game, Duke won.  Now I was hoping 
one of the players would use his seconds on camera to say "I object to 
sweatshops making college apparel."  That would have been a great way to use 
the seconds.  But they feel they are part of something perfect:  personal 
achievement, a community that loves and admires them, and a prosperous 
future.  Shane Battier, star for Duke, said studying the New Testament as a 
freshman "sparked" something inside him.  Perhaps it is inappropriate to 
mention sweatshops at such a euphoric time, even though I've been euphoric 
dozens of times, just not on TV.  Well, once on TV.  

In any event, selfishness cannot be tolerated.  The old will make way for the 
new.  I agree with nn that the future needed one origin.  Her ideas regarding 
math and science are very challenging and worthwhile, and they apply directly 
to literature.  Hate the sin and love the sinner.  It is certainly not the 
object of Genius 2000 to harm people, even if only psychologically.  I would 
like for Genius 2000 to harm their prejudices, their complacency, their 
depression, their weakness; but not their basic love of life.  And sometimes 
hurting someone's image values concurrently extinguishes their desire to 
live.  

Therefore, I tell you without regret--a tear of sadness, but not 
remorse--that I was not at the HHH metrodome tonight to throw Genius 2000 
tickets all over the place, or brandish my black and white satire swords, or 
even run on the court to hug Mike Kryczewski.  I went to my last day of cable 
TV training, and now I get to have my own free show.  Who says an underground 
idea can't take over the world?  My knowledge of corporate narrative and how 
it utilizes media to enslave humans is nonpareil; what is most unusual is 
that I offer the solution, escape, antidote for free.

It may be necessary at this point to argue against Genius 2000.  After all, 
its beneficence to humanity has not yet been shown, and future projections 
are unproven.  I myself will argue many points against Genius 2000 this 
month.  

By the end of this April, we will all know whether Genius 2000 is a good 
thing or a bad thing, a thing of value or a thing of no value, a living thing 
or a dead thing.

Objection One:  Max Herman overestimates his own abilities.  (Debate)
Objection Two:  Many people's minds cannot be changed quickly and 
simultaneously.
Objection Three:  What about the threat of a new imperialism of cognition?
Objection Four:  It is impossible to communicate Genius 2000 to anyone.


Congratulations Blue Devils,


Max Herman
