My friend, I doubt you realize that my early youth on a wilderness island in Alaska has left me bereft of classical education, and my subsequent prodigal dissolution never availed it to me. I have no more knowledge of Greek than I do Kanji, nor more familiarity with Homer and Hesiod than Laozi and Sun tzu. I confess much of what I know of them I have learned just now from you!

Dear @valued-customer !
It seems you have excessive praise and expectations for an American elementary school student!
I speak English worse than Joseph from Oregon!😅
Steve always advised me that my awkward and rude English would bring me danger and harm.

My sentence to government indoctrination camps was predictably useless for anything of merit, and the literature that attracted me was science fiction, illuminating the possibilities opened to mankind by the advent of travel beyond the gravity well of Earth. The ancient riddles of the occult, associated with violence, politics, and incessant obfuscation of valuable technical, civil, and social progress positively repelled me, and I associated such occult with religions, as I yet do, all of which I regard as political propaganda to empower madmen with cannon fodder. Yet somehow I earnestly sought spiritual reality, and partially introduced what I was provided through empirical consideration by tools the scientific method enabled rational examination by.

I guessed that your English is the same as that of people who graduated from American universities!
I thought you were a British English speaker like Steve!

I also have skepticism and doubts about ancient mysticism, religion, thought, and philosophy!
I thought that Laozi's Taoism, with its abstruse and verbose rhetoric, turns the masses into foolish and obedient slaves of overlords!

I thought that Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism in East Asia today are similar to the Pharisees and Sadducees who confronted Jesus!
They all became corrupt for their own desires!

I am quite adrift in the company of the learned, having only my own conclusions upon which to draw, many of which were found in the bloody chase of my dinner in the forests and coves where I ranged as a youth, casting out any formality, political considerations, or desire for material fortune beyond a dry corner to escape the miserable weather of the cathedral in which I killed my saints and cavorted with sinners. It was they that were my true educators, and the bloody knuckles and skinned knees apportioned by a misspent youth, that is today the glory of my dotage.

You know the deception, fraud, and propaganda of the Overlords very well!
Americans like you have been fighting against overlords from the very beginning to protect your freedom, lives, and property.

However, I am a descendant of those who lived as slaves to the Overlords for 2,000 years! Therefore, I lack the ability and the desire to fight the Overlords!

I am talking to you simply because I want to know about your wisdom and experience!
I am nothing but a poor and powerless historian!

You are a free man who carves out and owns your own life, but I am a slave!

So, I want to become a writer in America!

I hope your health and long life!
