LOOK UP TO THE PRINCIPLE WHICH GENERATES THE CONCEPT
Saturday Dialogue with LaRouche, Pt. 1
Lyn had the following discussion with the LYM [LaRouche Youth Movement--DK] in Virginia and others on April 12.
LAROUCHE: I have passed a copy of something which is the very beginning of a piece, to Jeff and to Gerry.
The problem of moving to Purcellville from Leesburg, left some Unresolved problems, which show up in the briefing and in the website, particularly on news items. That, when I shut down the Boomer control, in a sense, from Leesburg, in a sense, of producing slugs, you notice that the reports died out.
And what I was protesting against was bull****. But, bull**** is not only whatnot only cows and others produce, but also sometimes people. And sometimes Boomers. And by my cutting it out, I got resentment from the Boomers, who began to protest wildly, "We're not going to produce any news if you don't like what we produced" huh? So therefore, you would have a kind of censorship.
And because of the pressure on the youth, the youth went sterile--intellectually, in the question of news items. And for some months, now, we've had no significant production of significant news reports on the website. The only thing we've had of competence which is controlled largely by the influence of the scientific program here, was a higher intellectual standard which showed in some of the product, such as in the case of what we did on this composition on the 1923, and a few things like that.
Though generally, the production tends toward bull****. The tendency in the slugs, which are put on the site, as news slugs, if they're not bull**** intrinsically, they're bull****ted. That is, they've acquired some of the aroma and texture of bull****.
Now, the problem is, is partly typified by the fact that our Boomers have lost essentially any sense of science. There's no sense of physical science, and a very poor recollection of what music is about. Or, if they're fascinated, sometimes they like it, and so forth. But the idea, of actually the involvement in the conceptual aspects of Classical composition and performance tends to get lost. We tried to fight against that -- the reason I started the change here, on the East Coast, with the Bach, with the choral work and the Boston organization, was to fight against the decadence of our Boomers. Because it was the decadence of our Boomers that was spoiling our efforts in California, and the decadence of our Boomers that was causing the problem here. It would not work if you let the Boomers control it. Because, our Boomers have lost, for many reasons which I've written about, in part as recently again: They have lost the ability to think.
They have become cultish, in the sense of cliquish. They're organized by gossip groups, not by thinking groups. And you get from the Editorial department, it's a gossip center, it is not a center of intellectual activity. It's a center of destructive gossip, of people who are no longer really political. They're in the organization out of a habit, but not out of political conviction.
So, the operation which I'm running, in a sense is: Remember that many of you are between 25 and 35 years of age. You're not kids any more. You're fully adults. And have adult minds, and adult responsibilities, and often can think better than Boomers who are twice your age.
Now, the key to our work, and the key to my thinking, also, which is where the conflict comes with me, because my background is against Euclid, the whole issue against Euclid, against this kind of thinking, which is my whole life's experience. Since I was 14 years of age, when I first had an exposure to a geometry class and said, "This is bull****!" and I rejected the whole thing at that point. Because the minute you assume axiomatic restrictions, or the equivalent, arbitrarily, on the way you think, your mind is destroyed, your ability to do scientific work is crippled; because you're always going back, "Well, what's the proof? What's the proof?" And some ****head is saying, "No you have to start with Euclid" in effect, or "start with Descartes," in effect. "Yes, you can go to Riemann, but you have to start where science starts." It "starts" with what? With Euclid! And similar kinds of things. Radical reductionism! And radical reductionism is the characteristic with animals, not a human being. Animals are reductionists: they are sense-certainty creatures.
So, what we're doing is to try to save society, is free society from the characteristics of the Boomer. Now, as I've explained, the Boomer is not necessarily degenerate. They have to become degenerate. You have some Boomers are degenerate.
Boomers of course, are 68ers: You go back to 1968, we had at Columbia, a clear division between two types of intellects. You had the Boomers, which are the Mark Rudd, or Mark Crudd as we called him. That was the one side, the fascist side. And the other side were trying to think and work our way through this, and educate people to actually begin to formulate policies for society.
What has happened is, that over the period since the 1970s, as I wrote, those who remained intelligent, potentially, became unintelligent, especially over the course of the 1980s, especially from 1986 on, because they became scared, and found themselves outsiders to the typical people of their part of the population. And therefore, even though they were not ****heads when they joined the organization, they learned to think like ****heads as a kind of protective coloration, and say, "you have to be a populist." So they lost the ability to think. We had people who were involved in the 1970s/early 1980s, in scientific work, as with the Fusion Energy Foundation. When my generation died out, that stopped.
During the 1990s, there was no science in this organization--none! And Larry can tell you about that, 'cause when he came back out, he found himself in an anti-scientific environment, and found he just couldn't think! And he's been struggling to get back to a thinking state of affairs ever since!
Because the people in his environment no longer think, they don't believe in thinking. They're so busy defending bull****, that they don't let anything that interferes with bull****--such as thinking--get in the way of being agreeable. They become, not thinkers, but gossips. They're run by gossip. Their approach to news is gossip. Now, most of the slugs that are produced by Boomers, from my standpoint, stink, and are destructive in their effects. Why? Because they're reductionist. They attempt to deal with the situation in popular terms. They make a dichotomy between science, reality, and process. And "well, this is what happened. This is important, we should report on it." BULL****!
You get a typical thing, like I used to get with these telephone and similar sessions with the Boomers, on intelligence, in the afternoon: And I couldn't shut them up! They said, "Listen to my report, don't interrupt me. Listen to my report!" They'd go on and on and on. And after about 20 minutes of this crap, nobody in the room is thinking: Because a mountain of bull**** is dominating the scene. "Let me explain this. I gotta get this point in. I gotta explain this."
Now, from a standpoint of science, what's wrong with that? In science, you're always looking upward to the principle which generates the concept. You're looking critically at the axiomatic assumptions, and especially, you're looking at hidden axiomatic assumptions. So, if somebody comes in and says, "I have the following fact, lemme tell you the facts, listen to my facts, listen to my facts...." Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang! It goes on, until everybody's shutting off. You get the clicks on the phone, people just turning off. And what comes out at the end, people try to say, "Well, this is what's going into the briefing." And it's bull****! It has no relevance to reality.
What's reality? Reality is, this society is
dying! It's dying of its own axioms. And those who are
adapting to what they think is popular opinion, which is what this
bull**** is about the slugs, huh?--are trying to spread death.
What happened, is that, you got the past two
years, or nearly two years now, since the Pelosi Pestilence
took over in Washington, is you have most of the
population--this is the key
to the Obama campaign, is mass stupidity in the
population. Hmm? People no longer believe that it is possible to
change things, in a positive sense. What they believe is, if you
get enough people and you have the ability, by virtue of having the
majority, you can run society. That's the Obama revolution!
Look at everything the Obama program is: There's nothing
in it, but bull****! So, why do people say, "This is a
movement"? Why do they say, "this is inspiring"? It's nothing.
It's complete bull****. Because they have a sense of
"belonging." "We belong to something which is numerous, and it's
going to control the country because it's numerous. WE'RE GOING TO
TAKE OVER!"
Now, I saw that in Germany: in Hitler Germany.
It's exactly that. There's no distinction between the
mechanism of the Obama movement and the Hitler
movement--none! Because the essential thing is not the particular prejudices you have. What functions is the way you think. In a human being, it's the way you think that's important, it's not necessarily
what you think. Because it's the way you think that will
lead you, ultimately to what you will think. And the
Obama movement is a fascist movement--by any historical standard.
And you get an intimidation of people, who respond to what? They
respond to a sense that there's nobody in society, in political
power, who's doing a goddamned thing, about saving this nation,
and its people. So people say, "You've got to go along,
to get along. Don't try to change the rules, adapt to them."
Go with the majority popular opinion, even if it's stupid.
I mean: Obama is a racist. I mean, with an
African father--he wasn't much of an African father, but
was an African father of Kenya. He was part of a British
operation, which took over Kenya, through MI5's operation. But this guy was away from Kenya, and he married a Margaret Mead type, a
woman who had a number of successive husbands, like Margaret Mead
did. Went out to the poor, brown people, in Asia, and had sex
with them! It was called "Coming in Samoa." [groans, laughter]
And she wore through a number of successive husbands, and by
them, had various children. And therefore, you'll find Obama's
ancestry, if you chase his family tree, everybody's climbing and
swinging from the branches there--from all over the world! All
parts of the world! This guy is the universal man. Every monkey in
every tree, from every part of the world, has participated in the
sexual act of producing him. And he works for organized
crime--which is a branch of British intelligence.
So why are people sucked into this thing? And
what's wrong with the way we react to this phenomenon, as it
affects the population in general? It's not just Obama.
Obama is a disease, but he's not the infectious agent that caused the
disease. He's a product of the disease, not a cause of it.
The problem lies with us, and I fight it all time
in our organization. I fight stupidity in our
organization. Especially among Boomers. There are a few members of the Boomer class, who actually do anything intellectually, in this
organization. And most of you who've been watching it, know who they
are. Like Harley, for example: Harley is in the field
organization, the most significant leader of the organization in the
field. Now, the reason for Harley's qualifications are, he and
his wife represent a very high intellectual and moral
standard, which is resistant to some of the things that throw other
people off balance. And those of you from California have
some reflection of this. I mean, Phil is a very intellectual guy,
but he doesn't have that particular kind of fighting capability
that Harley does. And Phil just says, "Why isn't this
succeeding? Why isn't this succeeding? What we do about this?" Well, Phil does just not do that kind of fighting. He'll make
proposals, he'll present this, he'll analyze things--all fine.
But, to lead--it's like with Quincy.
Phil, because of a sickness in the family, Phil
was taken out of the leadership in California. And I said,
"Put Quincy in to promote, organize the fundraising." Guess what
happened? It's fine! Because Quincy brought in the element,
which Phil was not doing; it's not Phil's temperament to do that.
And Quincy went in, to do the opposite: He said, "I'm
organizing you guys." Hmm? He didn't go in and fight with them, to
start organizing. He said, "I'm organizing you guys"--and the phone
team suddenly, for a short period of time, actually functioned.
And others picked up, with Quincy, in trying to do that,
which is a very difficult case to deal with, as anybody from
California knows.
The Boomers out there are not exactly the most
enthusiastic [laughter]... So this is the kind of problem I face. And I think if you look at it from my standpoint, you get a better
perspective, because I'm older than you guys are, and therefore
I'm more experienced with these kinds of problems--and more
diverse internationally, than you. So, I'm inured. I can
not be converted to Boomerism. I'm Boomer-resistant.
Anyway, so: What's the problem? The problem is
one, and why is it that our scientific program in the Youth
Movement is absolutely crucial, even for any kind of political
work? Why? Well, because, first of all, the culture stinks.
Now, you find most of you have a correlative, who are doing
scientific work with music. You're responsive to what is required
in music. Whereas the typical Boomers no longer are really
responsive to it. They listen at it: They are not part of
it.
What's the difference? Well, because in Classical
composition, in its proper performance, and in
physical science, the same principles prevail. They are the same
principles, they have a different aspect. In physical science,
you're looking at--generally, from a physical standpoint, at what
you're controlling, what you're dealing with--nature's
business. In music, as in Classical poetry, which is almost
impossible for people these days, they don't even know what it
is, huh? In drama, the same kind of thing, Classical drama,
similar kind of problem: That you're dealing with the same thing,
the distinction of the human mind from the beast. And
what the Boomers have lost, generally, is the distinction
between man and beast. They now act as people, but in a beastly
way. And they are beastly toward each other in social matters.
They gossip against each other. They form little cults and
cliques and so forth. They're nasty. Because they've lost their
connection to humanity, essentially their love of humanity.
I mean, to educate people you have to care for
them! You have to care about their minds! You have to do
that, otherwise how can you help them? That's what parents are
supposed to do with their children. Is to express a love and
trust in the family, which encourages the child to blossom, to
open up, and to discover new things. And sometimes for a busy
Baby-Boomer, that's an annoyance. "Don't bother me, don't
bother me. My mistress is calling me. Don't bother me."
You know that, most of you guys know it--you know
it in different forms. Okay.
