    About this ebook

    A brief preface gives a brief biography of LaRouche and outlines the scope of the essay. Chapter 1 takes great exception to LaRouche’s theology. I refute his assertion that Chapters 1 & 2 of Genesis are in conflict, a common assertion made by many sceptics. I take issue with his view that the Old Testament is racist. It is not. Lyndon was a Marcion heretic. Chapter 2 cites a video by Helga Zepp LaRouche from the Schiller Institute outlining her views (and likely Lyndon’s) on education. She likes the Humboldt model of general education first with some research followed by work at this or that. I prefer self-teaching and on the job training by others to get you going on the fast track. The basics of life take precedence over a rich man’s or middle-class child’s lazy, hazy student days. Put the brats to work, paying due consideration to their health both physical and mental, no bullying, needless degradation or breaking their bodies with slave driving. But work first. Chapter 3 takes on LaRouche’s dislike for the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act. This is an evasion of the matter at hand, a red herring. We take issue. Chapter 4 looks at the man. We see indications of a bully, a ruthless manipulator and man who let his arrogance land him in jail. We end with some glib remarks on philosophy.

    Author

    Edward E. Rochon

    I write for my health and the health of the world. Often the cure rivals the disease in grief and aches. My writing career started at twelve when I attempted to write a sequel to Huckleberry Finn but never finished it. My writings have included poetry, plays, a novel, non-fiction and writing newsletters for here and there. Recently, I am dabbling into short stories. Apart from newsletters, nothing has been published in print. I bought an audio recording of one of my poems but threw it away in disgust due to an inappropriate reading by the narrator. 'Contra Pantheism...' was my first eBook. About a hundred eBooks have been published since including some books of verse, and my essays collected into five volumes, and one volume of collected poems. A few other types of literature are on my list of published works. My essays deal with fundamental questions of philosophy as well as natural philosophy (science.) On the whole, my works are as far above the writings of Plato and Aristotle as the material power of the United States is over that of Ancient Greece. I once asked myself if I had ever written anything memorable, but couldn't remember exactly what I had written. I started to check my manuscripts but stopped as it seemed the answer to the question was obvious. Gore Vidal mentioned in one of his memoirs that writers tend to forget what they write and are a bad source to ask about their works. Gore knew a lot of writers. I have not and may have been a bit hard on myself. Apart from self-improvement and maybe making a few bucks, my main goal is to bring about a golden age for mankind. Being a man, this sounds appealing. It is pointless to desist and all small measures are worth the effort. Albert Camus thought suicide the only serious philosophical question. He was a fool and died young. Suicide is a waste of time. The most important functional question is: How do I get what I want? The one question that trumps this is the ultimate question of intent: What should I want? As Goethe pointed out: Be careful what you wish for in your youth, you might get it in middle age.
