I am your intellectual superior. Although I haven't met you, and you certainly haven't met me, I can say without fear of contradiction that I could easily outthink any of you who might happen to be reading this. It's really very fortunate for you that you found out about me. You should definitely keep reading this message. It could change the way you think about the human race. Specifically, you will learn to see the human race as an ugly morass of undifferentiated mediocrity whose sole exception is me, and some people who are a lot like me.

I suspect you aren't very much like me, though. Clearly you have a lot to learn. That's why I'm here. I'm here to teach. You will have noticed throughout your life that many teachers tell lies, either to deliberately deceive, or because they themselves have been deceived. You will get no such mendacity from me. Every word I say is guaranteed true, one hundred and ten percent true.
My careful research and complete lack of imagination ensure that I will never be caught lying. Indeed, my mind is so supremely rational, and my soul so subdued that I don't have dreams. Instead, my subconsious mind visits me at night in a grey three-piece suit. We talk about politics and military strategy. Sometimes we discuss mathematics. He takes his tea with sugar. I take mine without. A mind like mine is precisely what the world needs right now, with a probability of over seventy-five percent. I'm very interested in technology. I assert that the internet has been of immense and palpable benefit to all humankind. I am equally certain that the use of gender-neutral pronouns will not perceptibly reduce sexism . Let me begin this paragraph by saying, art is finished. No doubt there are people who disagree with me. I can assure you, they are wrong. I hope I don't have to explain relativism to you. Relativism means that everything is really art, even things that aren't art. Also, everything is moral, even things that are decadent. Decadence is especially moral, so moral in fact, that we don't even say "decadent" any more. The word has no meaning in the modern context. Something that has had me vexed for some time now is the culture of liars. The world is full of people who deliberately abuse their free speech rights to say things which I know to be untrue. I cannot accept this. It is time for people to learn that free speech does not mean the freedom to lie. Lying is immoral, and it is clearly impossible for one moral right (free speech) to be used to support an act of immorality. I hereby condemn all liars. For this reason, I will be requiring extensive sources and references from people who seek to disagree with me, and who would falsely present a fallacious set of facts in support of their untruths. If you find yourself in disagreement with me, I suggest you examine your assumptions very carefully. You are bound to be wrong. I'd be happy to help you found the source of your error. To do less would be ungentlemanly I look forward to educating many of you. Did I mention my expertise in Intellecual Property? Or my advanced interests in philosophy and superconductors? If I haven't yet, I soon will. Next week: How to be learned |
