Trying to work out a good summary to give the psych for evaluation.

The Decline And Fall of All Evil
Seymour Lessans and his daughter Janis Rafael
©1961,1962,1965,1969,1971,1976,1988,2011

Lessans claims to have unlocked secrets previously hermetically sealed behind fallacious science and reasoning. If understood, this new knowledge will bring about the world's deliverance from all evil, war, and unhappy marriages. The keys to this deliverance to accept that there is no free will, that our eyes are not actually sense organs, that a human's sense of conscience will prevent them from ever hurting another human so long as they know no one will blame them (so we will blame ourselves) and that all world leaders will simultaneously be willing to take a test and agree to Lessans' blueprint for a new economic restructuring of a global community following the no blame principle. No nation will want to have veto power. We know they will co-operate because of the excellent history they've established on being able to compromise on a global scale without question or negotiation.

EVen better than that: Never again will we argue about who gets to hold the remote for the television, what to eat for dinner, or whether or not the person who just had sex with us actually loves us.

Never again will we find anything ugly because we won't understand the concept. When we realize that eyes are not afferent we will erase all the words that describe what we see in terms of comparison. Despite not knowing what attractive vs unattractive means, we will never ask our spouse to have sex because we know that is hurtful, but we will lure them into sex instead by dressing as whores and prancing around the house until they can't help but want sex. This new technique will always work.

Never again will we have poor people because there will be a guaranteed minimum wage for all people but there will still be great disparity between the rich and poor because the rich would never agree otherwise... and this disparity will no longer make the poor feel helpless even though the new system locks the rich people into a guaranteed wage of their current richness even if they start to suck at their jobs or it turns out they got rich through exploitation. Of course there will be no more courts required because of the explicit honesty that all people will have... so the rich will tell us if they stole their money or if they inappropriately used child labour in Malaysia.

Schools will no longer be needed because the environment will be hostile to teachers that no one will be willing to do the job. This won't really matter since teachers won't be allowed to grade students anyway. All students will be able to grant themselves degrees because they'll be perfectly honest, sane, and free from greed or self absorption.

Am I missing anything?

eta: and we know this is mathematically sound logic because 1+1=2, and 2 is to 4 what 3 is to 6
