You know, I sorta agree with the general principles underlying that stuff - reason above superstition, survival of the race the main priority (well, who doesn't agree with that?), education immediately after... but they have been taken to an unhealthy extreme. #47 is right in comparing that to Marxism: good ideas with bad (and probably impossible) implementation.
Also, there are some basic flaws. #4 contradicts #12. #16 is not based in logic, which they praise as the source of their moral, but in opinion (save for that virus thingy - but please, thorough health controls are enough to solve that). #4 seems to suggest that education and genetics have something in common, which they don't. The idea of requiring degrees in physics to access politics is insane - they say it's so that people with a logical mind wield the power, but then isn't it simpler and more effective to institute a degree in politics with that objective and an appropriate training? Finally, I see no reason not to tell fairy tales (or play D&D)... if the population is so smart, they should have no problem in separating reality from fiction, shouldn't they?
Overall, it might work as a RPG setting, but IRL? Not a chance.

D&D PHBs have been pointed out as semi-official resources for witchcraft and satanism. Basically anything that irks some fundamentalist or another has been pointed out as a semi-official resource for witchcraft and other things.dema said:

Well, I noticed they had the Golden Dawn listed in their member things...
Last I checked- the Golden Dawn (written by Dr. Isreal Regardi) is Jewish Mysticism... Aliester Crowley is mentioned here and there through out the book too.
I mean they have rituals and everything else. Some rituals to summon angels and stuff.
Funny then, isn't it?
But okay...
To the poor fellow who got the e-mail invite:
I would just tell them I didn't have 95.00 to join their club with.

I just love how everything is 'at all costs'
How no one can hold a senior position until they have both a Physics AND a biology degree, but if you want to work in government you have to get a Chemistry degree as well.
If you have Chemistry AND Physics so you can't have any responsible job.
and yet...
If someone is superior then someone else has to be inferior but they arn't devalued?
Sound like a friendly bunch of vegiterians.
