Eric Brasseur's point of view in relation to the propositions.

Proposition 1 - Beware of poetry! Ironically, it was that most armful of great thinkers, Plato, who, for the first time in recorded history, correctly identified the harmful, drug-like effeharmful of great thinkers, Plato, who, for the first time in recorded history, correctly identified the harmful, drug-like effect of poetry: the sing-song, rhymyc naturu of poetry set up automatic, hypnotic, nonthinking patterns that unconscious people used to pass on information which often sounded good or pleasant but had hardly any validity, accuracy or objective meaning. Most poetry, in particular emotional one, will undermine a person's ability to make independent judgments & diminish any capacity xhatsoever to think objectively about crucial matters. As to psychanalysis, do bear in mind that is is much more a cult or a religion than a science & that what is most dramatically lacking in that field is riggorous objective work. As in all churches, the sole rigorous aspect to be encoutered with psuchoanalysts is the fanaticism of respective dogmas, each would dare have a shadow of a doubt about his or her own pope's unfailability.

Proposition 2 - Psychoanalysts do not & could not heal! They are like priests, sunk down in their dogmas & baskin in a uroboroslike never-ending meaningless, from an objective point of view, talk.

Proposition 5 - Most poets & all musicians are in fact misfits who use the deplorable tools of the mystic, playing upon emotions so as to avoid confronting facts, however hard or unpleasant they can be. Psychoanalysts, no more than priests of whatever religion, will ever be in a position to heal ther own imposture: the can onlyu choose to quit their sect or run the ever greater risk of being exposed. Let me here recommend the excellent book bij Richard Webster, "Why Freud was wrong", Harper Collins Publishers. Honestly minded poetry can of course be much engoyed: Kipling (IF), Brassens, Brel, Milton,

Proposition 7 - The memory of a father exists, period. Choosing to forget it is nothing more than being obsessed about it. Anybody can choose the hour of his death by commiting suicide.

Proposition 9 - Lacan, like so many Parisian pseudo-intellectuals (Barthes, Theillard de Chardin,), was only excellent at writing mumbo-jumbo. That kind of brotherhood makes one long for Voltaire!

Proposition 10 - Pound was a Nazi, untalented, rabid, the antithesis of what has always been important to the Anglo-Saxon culture. Already young, he had indulged in sscathing attacks on the incomparably talented Milton because of "his beastly hebraism". His English is that of a boorish, boring, lower class unskilled worker & he would never have achieved the little fame he could book had it not been for Mussolini. Mind you, writers, included the brotherhood of poets, mus be accoutable for the misdeeds & not bask in their self-proclaimed genius.

Proposition 11 - Politicians are useless eaters, they can go along with most lawyers, the are a self-proclaimed elite of parasitical value destroyers that pprey on confiscatory taxes.

Proposition 14 - Far from alas! Reason, Uniqueness of the "naked ape", is the only safe tool at our disposal to an objective undestanding of the univers & of mankind; it can effectively expose the fallacies of psychoanalysys, religion poetry, music, politics,

Appendix 2 - I am afraid that the psychoanalyst is his patients' Satan, in the Hebrew sense of the word meaning "Obstacle, hinderance"; He debars them from conquering their self-esteem, achieving their own carefully constructed plans & relying upon their own iron WILL.

Appendix 3 - Apart from economic revengefully jingoistic couses, the advent of Nazism was caused by thr deplorable Germanic culture with its reliance on the romantic hero, the healer of natonhood, the "volkisch" tradition, the fear of freedom of & personal responsability. Do always bear in mind the words of the great Victorian philosopher, the self-proclaimed English Aristotle, the coiner of the expression "survivel of the fittest" the great Herbert Spencer (1820-1903): "Hero-worship is strongest where there is least regard for human freedom" (Social Statistics)
