Welcome comrades, friends and lovers

Welcome all ye gods and goddesses

 
In satisfaction of your requirements for this basic reading group,
herewith is presented your nonfiction prose.
Let the syllables roar and pound upon the shore,
this book pulls out all the stops,
unconstrained by word-length restrictions!
The sentences may meander through half a paragraph before being dammed up.
Unabashed technical jargon from various diciplines may be encountered within.
The argot of academia may be distinguished when you come upon long words,
which (heh-heh) are not to be found in standard household dictionaries.
Don't fret, these words are the stock in trade of some otherwise sensible people.
People make a living from knowing how to use the jargon of their own field.
They're a squizziologist and you're not,
because they have learned how to use squizziological terms, dig?
Since you didn't go to squizziology school, you'll never find these words!
If at first you don't succeed, give up.
It probably won't be worth your while to stop and find out about any particular word.
Just absorb whatever fraction of its meaning is possible from the context, and plow ahead.
You'll surprise yourself, by recognizing that word next time you spot it.
If you are an obsessive dictionary hound,
you'll get a bit miffed the second time a page sends you digging,
which will turn into a grinding hatred of the author by the tenth time on the same page.
If English is not your native language,
the problem is compounded.
Do the best you can, and above all keep your sense of humor.
Almost anything can be funny when you look at it in a certain light.
Very complicated things can also be very funny.
Part of the delight in writing these books was how funny things can be,
when you look at then sideways.
Hint: if there's something you can't understand,
take a break and smoke some pot. Then it will fall into place!
 
Painted in the broadest strokes,
you will find in these works a set of replacement values
for nearly all the common social values.
Here you don't get what you pay for,
but you get what you don't pay for.
Money is free, but love is costly.
Here the cops don't win, because they're not the good guys.
Get used to it, because these ideas will be coming at you more and more.
Just don't fall into the easy trap of thinking in terms of opposites.
That is an error.
(In the grammar of these pages, "error" is the strongest perjorative.
Its negative connotation is much stronger than the word "evil",
for evil can be confronted and vanquished, but error takes hard work to repair.)
You can easily, but incorrectly, decide that since everything you were taught is wrong,
then its opposite must be the truth.
Yes, everything you were taught is wrong, that is an accurate observation.
However, all the opposites are not true.
Simple inversion of all societal values will not give you an accurate world view.
This describes the left-hand path of Satanism,
which, excuse me, is pretty fucking stupid.
The "transvaluation of all values" (cf. Nietzche) needs to be done more carefully than that.
Regard, since you have found the value structure of society to be absolutely incorrect,
it must therefore be based on inaccurate analysis.
Blindly picking a simple variant of the incorrect value structure,
a derivative such as its inverse, does not make its analysis any the more accurate.
You are stabbing wildly in the dark, to arrange your life in reaction
to a value system you know to be wrong.
Considering the matter statistically, you are likely to make just about the same number
of incorrect choices as are made by the faulty value system you choose to invert.
What really needs to be done is to wipe the slate clean and make a fresh start.
Given that the value system now governing society is severely in error,
to a degree which is life-threatening,
presenting the clear and present danger of extinction,
the thing to do is to totally replace it from its foundation.
Evidence shows its very axioms are wrong,
the most basic assumptions it makes about human life.
The analysis which lies at the core of morality must be redone.
That alone will give the possibility of a more correct world view.
This is why Paganism makes sense and Satanism doesn't,
why Anarchism makes sense and Communism doesn't.
The word "radical" means from the roots.
While the Satanists are messing around with the Communists out in the branches,
they can't see the forest for the trees.
You will find the anarchist pagans at the base of the trunk, meet the druid Merlin.
Some call us radical.
We know what's up.
