A Neo-Tech Letter to Secular Humanists
As a Neo-Tech editor, I want to convey the values received while attending my first Secular-Humanist Conference on July 6-8, 2001, in Geneva, New York and then visiting the world's recognized leader of secular humanism, Dr. Paul Kurtz. I met with him and his staff at their International Headquarters -- The Center for Inquiry -- in Amherst, New York. While for years being a subscriber to their periodicals, I never closely examined their publications and organization. For, under constant time pressures combined with profound agreement with Secular Humanism, I felt my own three decades of concerted research and debunking of mysticism, religion, and force-backed "authorities" made examining their work and organization seem somewhat redundant. ... Today, however, I realize the crucially important worldwide values spawned by Dr. Kurtz, his staff, and their enterprises.
While sharing many goals and ideas, Neo-Tech's experiences differ from theirs: Indeed, the religious-right constantly demonizes secular humanism. But, essentially every facet of the Establishment, left and right, ostracizes the authors and publishers of Neo-Tech. Ironically, orthodox Objectivists and official Libertarians, the seeming closest "allies" to Neo-Tech (read "competitor"), ostracize us the most adamantly. We are even disinvited from their conferences and subscriptions when they realize we represent Neo‑Tech. Four years ago, the main Objectivist newsgroup, alt.philosophy.objectivism, was abandoned for a new, strictly monitored "public" newsgroup, humanities.philosophy.objectivism. That new, "official" newsgroup was erected solely and explicitly to prevent any mention of Neo-Tech. The publicly published charter of that newsgroup prohibits even mentioning the word "Neo-Tech" under threat of permanent expulsion. Indeed, those Objectivist-gospel fundamentalists are as mystically dogmatic, robotically cultish, and threatened by honesty as are Christian-gospel fundamentalists. ... Come to think of it, I cannot recall mention, much less favorable mention, of Secular Humanism (read "competitor") among either Objectivists or Libertarians. Neo-Tech, however, will remedy its own such oversight of secular humanism in future publications.
We do not mind these decades of ostracism by the Establishment. In fact, we have thrived from such exclusion. Indeed, we are all prosperous, happy, and healthy as a result! For, that exclusion made us learn to think, write, and do business with no outside support. Today, we depend on Establishment approval for nothing; we depend on our own independent thinking and efforts for everything. Consider our flagship publication, The Neo‑Tech Discovery, certainly an unmarketable product via the Establishment. That single book published in thirteen languages has easily become among the top ten grossing books in history with no signs of abatement -- and we intend to become number two (behind the Bible) before the Establishment realizes what happened ... and after that, number one.
Now, back to that secular-humanist conference and my visit to their International Headquarters: I felt no explicit or implicit distancing from me by any secular humanist. I wondered why, especially since most people misperceive Neo-Tech as "right-wing" and secular humanism as "left-wing". The facts, however, are different. Except for business, most right-wing issues are antithetical to Neo-Tech, as are most left-wing issues. Clean-sweep Neo-Tech considers both wings as dishonest and destructive to human well-being. Yet, above all, Neo-Tech is benevolently tolerant of any view or lifestyle that does not employ intimidation, force, or fraud. Contrastively, Neo-Tech is ceaselessly intolerant of those who gain livelihoods, power, or glory by intimidation, force, or fraud.
Does a bond exist between Neo-Tech and Secular Humanism? Do we each stand separate from other businesses and social entities? Both answers dwell in a common allegiance to an honesty that yields open-mindedness and justice. That allegiance brings net benefits to individuals and society. By contrast, the social/political/religious truncheons of truths wielded by harmful Establishment entities and parasitical elites yield close-mindedness and injustices. ... Such manipulated truths inflict lethal harms upon individuals and society.
Regardless of specific views and possible differences, our common stances on voltairean toleration are what I think link us to secular humanists. Neither they nor we are robots chained by manipulative truths. Rather, they and we are humans freed by universal honesties. ... We both as mutually honest freethinkers represent neither threat nor competitiveness toward one another.
Many criticize as mystical, even religious, the Neo-Tech postulations of communication metaphors -- postulations of Zons, anticivilizations, and the Civilization-of-the-Universe. Such critics, however, do not yet understand that Neo-Tech/Zon is the exact opposite -- they do not understand its unique integrations, styles, and formats. For, upon grasping the digital-dot nature of our Bach/van Gogh-like presentations, one realizes that every Neo-Tech idea is either (1) properly placed in the context of established scientific facts or (2) logically presented as communication metaphors, allegories, or parallels...or clearly proffered as conjectures, hypotheses, or theories along with proposed experiments to prove or disprove each such theory. Distinctions are also made in the Neo-Tech literature between deductive, a-priori, non-proven postulations and speculations versus inductive, a-posteriori, proven facts and knowledge.
Still, most people today dislike Neo-Tech's inescapable identifications of everyone's hidden irrationalities and mysticisms. For, nearly everyone silently, falsely rationalize such "vices" as necessary for survival in today's criminalized anticivilization. Neo-Tech Publishing, however, intends to change those dislikes and misunderstandings through unique business/literature strategies. Such strategies include enabling the honest working-and-entrepreneur classes to harness profitably and happily the Neo-Tech/Zon literature, including the latest Riches & Romance (R & R) manuscript combined with Mark Hamilton's forthcoming factual novel, The First Immortals. Those strategies call for formulating, delivering, and then firing digital bullets into conscious minds as described in that manuscript. Such bullets break dependencies on dishonesties and irrationalities to let people earn open-ended riches and romances. Indeed, those digital bullets are designed for a velvet revolution. They are designed to peacefully overthrow today's anticivilization by generating the universal business/science/art dynamics detailed in the R & R manuscript.
As a lasting result of that secular-humanist conference, I believe the farmer/labor/business/science/art revolutionaries -- those honest, productive profiteers of the revolution -- will join minds with voltairean secular humanists. Together they will bring forth the Civilization of the Universe to yield natural riches and romance for every conscious life as revealed in the R & R manuscript.
