“Untrained, the best status available to ‘thinking’ is something like ‘professional stupidity’. This is, in part, why our media and social structures practice and parade this endlessly before us. Of course, ‘we’ do not really exist. Professionally stupid minds do not become ‘we’ groups; but rather, their opposites: opinion-fetish-mobs.

To retrieve the intellect, one must have passionate concern for the fact that most of our mental activity is abysmally misguided. Not only are we ordinarily ‘blind’ in this dimension; there is nearly no guidance from existing persons or people who have seen into this matter — especially without any extraneous ‘systemic cult’ toppings added.

So we must, each and collectively, become the pioneers … that recover and restore the possibilities of our humanity and intelligence. Until we resolve our relations with language and concept, there will be no ‘solution’ to any ‘problem’ whatsoever. We shall have the opposites of solutions, which generate ever-deadlier problems and ever-more confused minds.

The most urgent imperative facing our species is one we overlooked; we must discover what intelligence is… by casting off its counterfeits… and becoming it. Now. Together. Forever.”
