The rich HERE are JUST SOOO SURE that what makes them rich will
magically be the "best thing" for the rest of us, so self-deception
abounds among the greedy. That's nothing surprising, since greed
arises as a deep neurosis of a defective self-esteem.

Yes, yes. Like Brunowski.

This is a defective semantic criticism:
People who are wrong all think they are right,
but then so do people who actually are right.
And most people deny they think they are right merely to be politic.

Or not destructive, if you think THAT'S right.
And then you wouldn't criticize it.

You see, what this points up is that all these criticisms are
semantically defective because they are instances of selective
attention.

First, learn to spell my name,
Then quite confabulating things you're only AFRAID I'll say,
And read me just for comprehension.

Next, stop bothering to criticize me personally,
Because your ad hominem blather really won't do you any good,
since this stuff isn't anything personal.

Instead deal with my concepts alone.
I DARE you!!

You're avoiding my concepts with ad hominem blathering.

And as for laughable employment, I don't need you,
You have no effect.
