Skeptic Project

One bright spark at the Zeitgeist forums has prepared a letter he thinks should be distributed to everyone's local areas.

Here is how it starts:

"During times of universal deceit…”

Fellow citizens, fellow residents, but, ultimately, fellow thinkers and toilers: this is a call for action; action, for the time being, demanding no more than that which comes natural to every living thing that can think--to think.

This is the point where I stopped reading to squirm at the crappyness of it. I also like to think this is where most normal people would have thrown the thing in the bin as a punishment.

But to think willfully, with a diligent pursuit for the truth. For, it defeats the very purpose of thinking, for a thinking thing to not pursue the truth.

SHUT UP! Your embarrassing words are embarrassing !

...I skipped the rest of it, which was substantial, and get to the end...

Another message will not be sent, for I am not blind of the perspectives of contemporary society; I recognize that I have essentially invaded your comfort domain. Therefore, I shall send another message only if a mark is placed upon your mailbox in the form of a circle.

*vomit*

Obviously I think he has been listening to too much Peter Joseph.

(we need smiley faces so I can put a rolley eyes smiley)

I hope through reading this post I have not invaded your comfort domain. If you do not wish me to contact you further please scrawl a triangle on this letter, if it is anything other than a triangle I will not. If you are a thinking thinker then you know what is right, because what must a thinker do but that he must think? Concordantly, if he is sure that he thinks then he understands the creative intellectual logic developed through the scientific method of the triangle that they must place on this letter and allow me to contact them about this endeavour I am undertaking to save the world in the future but also the present if we so desire, which we all do. Thusly, I await your response. Thankyou...

Dear potential members,
I hope this long, drawn out, boring, and ultimately condescending post helps put positive thinkwise upon your mind so that thee will join our ultimately long winded, useless movement. By movement, I mean web site, perhaps, indeed, beyond, technology, ultimately, ecological, egalitarian, buzzwords.

> to think willfully, with a diligent pursuit for the truth

Most people already know the truth, that they are too poor..

Replace 'to think' with 'to do' and you could be onto a winner there..

Reminds me of ever so many green eco groups I keep bumping into, all intent on cleaning up the environment, but if that is so, how come none of them are down the canal near me picking up the dumped mattresses, cars, dead dogs and tyres that have lain here for at least the last decade undesturbed by anyone..
