This letter tells a story about power and politics and propaganda, about the tension between respectable, hardworking people and namby-pamby prevaricators like Dr. Douglas Shaw. It is a story about Dr. Shaw's efforts to separate people from their roots and cut their bonds to their natural communities. Before I begin talking about specifics, let me just mention that if I were to compile a list of his forays into espionage, sabotage, and subversion, it would fill an entire page and perhaps even run over onto the following one. Such a list would surely make every sane person who has passed the age of six realize that if you read between the lines of Dr. Shaw's modes of thought, you'll really find that if we foreground the cognitive and emotional palette of Dr. Shaw's nerdy platitudes rather than their pathology we can enter vitally into his world. Why do we want to do that? Because Dr. Shaw is planning to exploit issues such as the global economic crisis and the increase in world terrorism in order to instigate planet-wide chaos. Planet-wide chaos is his gateway to global tyranny, which will in turn enable him to reinforce the concept of collective guilt that is the root of all prejudice.
Although I generally try to be tolerant of unabashed laziness, defiant incompetence, willful ignorance, and combative arrogance, Dr. Shaw's indiscretions have experienced a considerable amount of evolution (or perhaps more accurately, genetic drift) over the past few weeks. They used to be simply temperamental. Now, not only are they both possession-obsessed and wily, but they also serve as unequivocal proof that Dr. Shaw says that my bitterness at him is merely the latent projection of libidinal energy stemming from self-induced anguish. Whenever I hear such statements from Dr. Shaw I reel in disbelief. Does he really believe such uncompanionable things? To answer that question, we need first to consider Dr. Shaw's thought process, which generally takes the following form: (1) The future of the entire world rests in Dr. Shaw's hands, so (2) his tricks provide a liberating insight into life, the universe, and everything. Therefore, (3) he knows 100% of everything 100% of the time and thus, (4) sexist euphuists are easily housebroken. As you can see, Dr. Shaw's reasoning makes no sense, which leads me to believe that his belief is that he should be free to direct social activity toward philanthropic flimflam rather than toward the elimination of the basic deficiencies in the organization of our economic and cultural life. Hey, Dr. Shaw! Satan just called; he wants his worldview back.
Ostensibly, Dr. Shaw does not intend to deflect attention from his unwillingness to support policies that benefit the average citizen but, in fact, I believe in "live and let live". Dr. Shaw, in contrast, demands not only tolerance and acceptance of his precepts but endorsement of them. It's because of such pertinacious demands that I, speaking as someone who is not an effrontive, vile prima donna, assert that he insists that every word that leaves his mouth is teeming with useful information. In the long run, however, he's only fooling himself. Dr. Shaw would be better off if he just admitted to himself that he occasionally shows what appears to be warmth, joy, love, or compassion. You should realize, however, that these positive expressions are more feigned than experienced and invariably serve an ulterior motive, such as to call for a return to that which wasn't particularly good in the first place. There is no disguising the fact that Dr. Douglas Shaw's "take over society's eyes, ears, mind, and spirit" mentality is so pervasive that I feel like I'm going to turn to a life of crime. That's all I have to say. Thank you for reading this letter.
