And this will remain true, always, in its own place, and in its own terms, regardless of the lies taught children, the restriction of educational posts to adherents, the pervasive propaganda, the selective allocation of research grants, the denial of freedoms and the suppression of alternative views, the furthering of approved opinions and careers, and the engineered distortions of language, intended to subvert nature, language used as a conditioning device, to brainwash future generations and preclude them from access even to concepts and categories in which they might strive to understand reality as it is, as facts, and not as the preferences of weaklings, dazzled by abstractions, the celebrants of verbalisms, the devotees of the unnatural, the mindlessly contented victim of a priori absurdities, would have it.

Or will the end be only a continual weakening, a sickness, and then death? Only one thing seems reasonably clear. - (Mercenaries of Gor)
