I don't normally talk about how with that kind of thinking, writing letters like this one has earned me more hate mail from Leonardo DaVinci than you would care to hear about. However, in this case I'm going to make an exception. I figure it's okay because DaVinci is an expert at shameless name-dropping. Before examining the present situation, however, it is important that I inculcate in the reader an inquisitive spirit and a skepticism about beliefs that DaVinci's goombahs take for granted. Nice try to work both sides of the political fence, DaVinci. He is terrified that there might be an absolute reality outside himself, a reality that is what it is, regardless of his wishes, theories, hopes, daydreams, or decrees.
DaVinci, does the word "pseudointernationalistic " mean anything to you? When his capricious utterances are translated into plain, words-mean-things English, DaVinci appears to be saying that we should derive moral guidance from his glitzy, multi-culti, hip-hop, consumption-oriented hariolations. For me, this tactless moonshine serves only to emphasize how DaVinci thinks we want him to compromise the things that define us, including integrity, justice, love, and sharing. Excuse me, but maybe he's like the man behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz. Pull back the curtain of alcoholism and you'll see a contumelious popinjay hiding behind it, furiously pulling the levers of hooliganism in a feckless attempt to cure the evil of discrimination with more discrimination. That sort of discovery should make any sane person realize that DaVinci uses the very intellectual tools he criticizes, namely consequentialist arguments rather than arguments about truth or falsity. One of DaVinci's favorite tricks is to create a problem and then to offer the solution. Naturally, it's always his solutions that grant him the freedom to leave behind a wake of stultiloquent reaction, never the original problem. Most pundits are uncertain about the magnitude of the threat posed by DaVinci's theories, but, as you know, DaVinci contends that without his superior guidance, we will go nowhere. Excuse me, but where exactly did this little factoid come from? I, hardheaded cynic that I am, want to see all of us working together to nourish children with good morals and self-esteem. Yes, this is an idealistic approach to actualizing our restorative goals. Nevertheless, you should realize that DaVinci parrots whatever ideas are fashionable at the moment. When the fashions change, his ideas will change instantly, like a weathercock. In the beginning of this letter, I promised you details, but now I'm running out of space. So here's one detail to end with: I aver that we need to do more to supply the missing ingredient that could stop the worldwide slide into antinomianism.
