Profile of a Real-Life Jedi Academy

Posted by timothy on from the mind-tricks-for-manhattan-landlords dept.

dkleinsc writes "The NYTimes ran a profile of the New York Jedi Club, an organization dedicated to teaching the ways of the Force. Jedi Grandmaster Flynn Michael, a sound engineer and (by his own proclamation) an 'over-the-top geek,' connected the ideas of the Jedi with dance, martial arts, sword-fighting and Tibetan Buddhism to form the curriculum."

    And of course, being an AC, you felt free to attach the current subject directly to the Holocaust. Debate-wise, you just lost all perspective and therefore, the debate.

    Besides that point, you went further and proclaimed both the Germans and Christians as not having opposition to the bad influences, but simply having gone along with it at best.

    Then lastly, it was inevitable that you extend the false and vile analogy and proclaim that somehow, you AC, know the hearts of current Christians and wish to enlighten us as to their racism and intimidation.

    At best, you are an ass. At worst, the very counter-view representation of the rant you just made.

    To boil that down to /. jargon: Project much?
