Jerome Corsi Says ‘Sex Is Not About Fun’

[struggle4progress]

23. Bertrand, Lord Russell, once provided some advice which might be useful here:

... I had plunged into a river in the hopes of getting cool. When I emerged, I found a grave and reverend old man standing beside my clothes. While I was getting dry, he revealed the purpose of his presence. 'You,' he said, 'in common with the rest of our nation, probably entertain the vulgar error that the English are the lost Ten Tribes. This is not the case. We are only the Tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh.' His arguments were overwhelming, and I could not escape them as I had to put on my clothes ... Nowadays when I meet the Ephraim-and-Manasseh devotees, I say, 'I don't think you've got it quite right. I think the English are Ephraim and the Scotch are Manasseh.' On this basis, a pleasant and inconclusive argument becomes possible. In like manner, I counter the devotees of the Great Pyramid by adoration of the Sphinx; and the devotees of nuts, by pointing out that hazel-nuts and walnuts are just as deleterious as other foods and only Brazil nuts should be tolerated by the faithful. But when I was younger, I had not yet acquired this technique, with the result that my contacts with cranks were sometimes alarming ...

Following this theory of the late Lord Russell, one should search for an appropriately crankish response, whenever one actually needs to respond to a crank. For such a response to the lunatic Corsi, perhaps a quote from Wilhelm Reich would fit:

... Fascist mysticism is orgastic longing under the conditions of mystification and inhibition of natural sexuality ...
The mass psychology of fascism
Wilhelm Reich, 1933
