(np) Reich + French theory - does it get any better than this?

[mikebailey]

kudos on that -- those of us who _ahem_ stake claim to decidedly less rigorous
intellects sometimes only hear of these developments thru the benign agencies of
pomo axe-grinders & pseudo-scientists

I dunno, as a pre-teen library hound (my mom would set us kids loose among the
stacks of the Royal Oak Public Library) Edgar Cayce and Wilhelm Reich were
heroes of mine...along with many others...I like jes-grew science - so sue me..

it's like in school, you might have one friend who's clean cut, gets good
grades, plays sports, that you get along with ok; and then another one who's a
little eccentric, wears pants that come up to his rib cage,
and introduces you to non-canonical stuff
like "2+2 = 22" or "you remind me of the man...", or cinnamon-flavored
toothpicks, or shows like "Outer Limits"

But seriously, Monte, what the heck is catastrophe theory, and why isn't
it compatible with orgonomics?  (if I may inquire?)
